Front Pages of the World


1. My favorite newspaper front page is Jornal de Noticias. I like this front page because the bold colors and big writing is eye catching. I also like the layout and minimal, large photos. 

2. "Pais de luna dão esperança a David e Tiago" is my favorite headline because it means Luna parents give hope to David and Tiago. This headline is intriguing because it catches the reader's attention and makes them want to read the full story. 

3. There are 6 stories on the front.

4. I notice that all newspapers have at least one main photo, a large title at the top, small headlines along the edges of the cover, little pictures scattered on the front, and different colored texts depending on the different topics covered in the newspaper.

5. The things that vary on different front pages of newspapers are the main stories, the pictures, how many pictures are on the front, the size, font, and color of the texts, the size and amount of headlines, and the location of the smaller pictures.
