Front Pages of the World

Houston Chronicle is my favorite out of all the newspaper front pages I saw because it has a theme that I like.  It has color, but it's not flooded with color.  It looks professional, with good pictures.

The City this newspaper is from is Houston, and the state, obviously Texas.

My favorite headline from this newspaper is:  Barge firm faces long legal haul.  I'm interested in this headline because it grabbed my attention.  I'm interested in law and fraud.  The font of the text in the headline is also eye-catching.

There are 5 stories (that start) on the front page of this newspaper.

I've noticed that all (professional) newspaper front pages have titles and headlines.  The size of the story text is no bigger than 12.  Like yearbook covers, each newspaper front page has a dominant photo, as well as an eyeline.  (The eyeline for the one above is a vertical one, on the right 2/thirds of the page).

There is always spacing between texts of different stories, captions, and photos.

Unlike yearbook covers, newspaper front pages don't have headlines all in the same place, and there is no dominant headline or story.  There are more photos on a yearbook cover than a newspaper front page.
