Front Pages of the World

1. My favorite front page is the cover of the Colorado Spring Independent Newspaper. I really like how the cover photo is completely blown up, it kind of looks more like a magazine cover. There isn't too many words on it, which makes it more attractive to someone young like me who doesn't like to read much. I also like how there's a color scheme with the text and photo, it makes it look a lot more clean and organized. I don't feel lost or confused within all the text and the fact that it is in all color makes it extremely eye catching.

2. Not surprisingly, my favorite headline is the only one on the cover called "This Isn't History". I think that the topic is very relevant with it being February, and with everything thats going on in the U.S both politically and socially. As I said in question one, the cover photo just draws me in and creates a lot of curiosity about what the article is actually gonna be about.

3. There is only one story on the front cover of the newspaper that I chose. Although this may not be the best choice, (I'm assuming by looking at other newspaper covers), it actually makes me like this cover more because I don't feel lost in a pool of words. Some newspapers stress me out just by looking at their covers.

4. All the newspaper covers, no matter what, have the name of their newspaper in big and/or bold letters at the top. Mostly all newspapers (except the one I chose) tend to have a large main photo with the occasional smaller photos. They all have text paragraphs that are shaped into rectangle text boxes. These texts boxes typically cover up most of the page and outline the main photos. Some other small details they all have are the location, the month or full date, and the author or photographer of the pictures and text.

5. Sizing of text and photos change a lot between different newspapers. Where exactly the main photo is placed also tends to vary, along with the number of photos and stories that are actually on the front cover. Although a small change, the boldness or font of the text tends to change a lot especially in the titles.
