Front Pages of the World


1. What is the name of your single favorite newspaper front page? Why is it your favorite?
Houston Chronicle & it's my favorite because the articles on the front page are interesting and are very eye catching.

2. Post an image of your favorite to your blog.
3.What city and state is the paper from? 
Houston, Texas

4.What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it?
My favorite headline is "Neighbors out-raged over sex-offender home" because it's something to read about and you want to know why the offenders have a home together in the public.    

5. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? 
About five Stories.
6. What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.
I noticed that in all the Newpapers the main story has the largest photo and the most text, and also is usually in the center of the paper.
7.What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc.

The fonts vary, of course the stories are different. Some papers may have more stories than others. Some headlines are bigger than other papers depending on the size available.

 Photos married to type.



Early Magazine covers.

Favorite.





This magazine cover of the November 20, 2000, issue of Newsweek is entitled, "The Winner Is," with a photo of half George W. Bush and half Al Gore. The presidential election had taken place earlier that month, but there was still no clear winner declared because of the close ballot count in the state of Florida. In this issue, Newsweek chronicled the lawsuits, court challenges and endless counting of ballots. The following month, George W. Bush was declared the winner of the closest presidential election in United States history.


In this magazine it shows that America didn't know who was to become president. It also says on the magazine "The Inside Story of America's Closest, Craziest Election. That clearly tells you how everyone was unclear of who won. In the main photo on the magazine it's both electives split into one with half of their faces.
