My favorite headline from that newspaper would have to be 'Pair arrested in connection to fatal shooting' because it grabbed my attention and looks interesting to read. 3. There are four major stories on the front page of my newspaper, and they are lengthy stories. 4.

Some things I noticed that were different were (obviously) the titles of the stories, and one big difference were how many stories the newspapers chose to fit on the front page. Some newspapers preferred to fit lengthy stories but less of them on the front page, and other newspapers liked to put smaller excerpts of...

Article #4 Magazines Part 2: Image bases magazine covers are consisted of people on the cover, typically celebrities. Magazine covers can capture people's attention with a simple pose, or something shot in a different angle or with the subject having a different focus. Illustration based magazine covers are drawn images. These were the only covers to be on magazines before it was possible to take detailed photography, but now there aren't many. Design based magazine covers have words on them, usually to capture attention with an opinionated or interesting comment. Concept based magazine covers can be a mix of the other three types. They are used to convey a witty or funny idea in an interesting way. Words and photos on magazine covers work together to show a cohesive point to viewers.

Planned to coincide with the opening of an exhibition of new work by Kusama at David Zwirner Gallery, the cover makes a powerful reference to the artist’s iconic self-portraits." This cover was definitely one of the most attention grabbing covers. The formal expression with the busy and fun, interesting background creates a great contrast, which is part of why it's so interesting. That communicates different aspects of Clooney's personality by using the background in contrast to his expression.  I think ...
