Blood on the hands of a newspaper reader

I am following through with the idea of news paper readers feeling like they have blood on their hands after reading the famous red top newspapers, or any British tabloid. The feel as if they have blood on their hands due to all the horror and violence reported about every day
Using photoshop, I developed this initial photograph into two layers of separate colour, one being red the other being black, and it became a valid, two colour piece of design. 
I have chosen then font Impact as I felt it was very similar to the type of font found on a newspaper cover, and also because it has a very strong presence on my design, and wasn't overshadowed by any other typography on the page.
I chose to print my final type and image design onto newsprint paper as it is based on the newspaper project, so it felt like the most fit for purpose stock to use. 
I was happy with the print outcome on newsprint, and I feel it has strayed away from the generic white background of 80gsm paper.
