Newspaper Layout

Front Pages of the World

1. My favorite is a Texas Newspaper called the San Antonio Express-News because the Headline and the picture are about an important national event and the font and colors are easy to read.

2.

3. It is from San Antonio, Texas USA

4. My favorite headline is 4 are killed, 16 wounded in new Fort Hood horror because its a national event and it catches your eye because it is the first time in 5 years that there's been a shooting at Fort Hood.

5. There are 6 headlines in my favorite front page newspaper 

6. They all have stories covering national news, for example that shooting in Fort Hood, and the main picture is the biggest one on the page. The texts and fonts are east to read as well and their name is huge and on the top. They have headlines to go along with their pictures.

7. Some focus on one main story while other focus on other smaller stories. They will all have different fonts and different titles for their newspapers.
