The document discusses different styles of newspaper front pages and magazine double page spreads. It describes how tabloid newspapers use bold headlines, large images with little text, and colorful fonts to grab attention. Broadsheet newspapers contain more text with simple fonts and less color. The author prefers the tabloid style for its ability to draw readers in. Magazine styles analyzed include NME, which uses a large central image and smaller supplemental photos, and ETC, which employs multiple small images. The author chooses the NME approach because the large central photo is eye-catching and draws the viewer in.

2. Tabloid Newspapers

3. Tabloid newspapers have big bold headlines and large images; there is also very little other writing if any. They also have plenty of colours in them which make them very appealing and really grab your attention. They also tend to have lots of different interesting fonts to make each separate part stand out, also there not normal generic fonts which get quite boring.

5. Broadsheet newspapers have large headlines, they use simple fonts, which don’t look quite as interesting, also there is lots of writing on the front page it’s kind of as if it’s a page that’s inside the newspaper. Also they don’t really have much colour on the front pages its basically just black and white although there are some bits of colour. Broadsheets look more formal and have much more formal fonts.

6. The Style I Prefer I’m going to choose to do mine in a tabloid style as I think it looks a lot more interesting than broadsheet, when I look at a tabloid front page I’m drawn into it whereas a broadsheet front page doesn’t do this. Also with tabloids the images tend to be bigger than on broadsheets, which I think will look better than having a little image
