Intro to Newspaper Design

1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why? Arizona Daily Star, Tucson Arizona. They have some interesting topics and there headlines make me want to read their Newspaper. 
2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? Tucson run in memory of Boston victims
3. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? 3 out of 5 stories
4. What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc. The stories that are the most important have the bigger pictures, the Headlines are bigger than the stories. They all have the same type of text.
5. 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. They put a concert ad in the front cover. And they also put a sporting event on the very top of the newspaper. Some headlines are smaller than others.
