The newspaper is to be completed on the 14'X28"poster paper stacked on the back counter.  Be creative using lots of aesthetically pleasing artwork and design.  Remember to plan it out on notebook paper first!  Might be a good idea to do everything on paper and then cut it out and paste it on your poster board.
