I chose to recreate the Seven Virtues. The main theme throughout my newspaper was using Catholic imagery, with modern views of the virtues. 
Here is a list of the virtues and what they consisted of:
Chastity: collage
Temperance: typography based photo
Charity: personal photograph, with model
Diligence: personal photograph, duotone
Patience: found photo (digital collage)
Kindness: personal photo with handwritten type
Humility: constructed image, type included


The Virtue of Chasity: To me i interpreted the virtue of Chasity as being pure-minded and clean spirtually, emotionally and physically. For this i used Saint Dymphna who was a patron in catholicism for people of poor mental health. Under her is water to further show cleanliness, she is surrounded by things theat represent postive mental health and wellbeing. Under her ii added things that were the oppisite: drugs, literal dirt and daggers to further symbolize their harmfulness. 
The Virtue of Patience: I used the perspective of the road and clock to symbolize that patience takes time( i thought this was an important aspect to the virtue) The children and hands tare there to represent a sort of compassion shown to others. I used brown because i thought it was a neutral color and also because it is said to represent calmness.
The Virtue of Kindness: The object the model is holding is a bone, the bone is supposed to represent a part of yourself. To be kind to others, i thought, is to give a part of yourself to others. I chose to mainly highlight on the bone ( everything else being blurry), to highlight this idea.
