Tabloid Cover


I chose this headline because it is pretty funny. I like how they continued the story through out the title and have a lovely drawing of the swamp monster. . .The creature WILL attack again..

Face of Satan seen over US Capitol!

I personally like this tabloid. It is simple with only two pictures, yet it gives you the essential information and it takes a good effect on the pictures and overall mood. The placement of the text also helps emphasize the face of "Satan" and it gives a new perspective to viewers.

Bat Child

I chose this cover because my parents used to subscribe to Weekly World News, and this was always our favorite story. One year for Halloween, my mom made us all Bat Boy masks. This cover is interesting because its entire focus is on one story.

Assignment3

I chose this image because of how ridiculous the headline is. There probably wasn't too much photoshop, but the point is made. I also like the quote about the busted water bed & jacuzzi.

Abby Lincoln


I like how this cover just keeps going. From saying he was a woman to the shocking pictures, all the way to Booth being a "jilted lover". It's a great example.

Kitty Killer


I really like this one because it's cute, simple, and funny. I especially liked the "sign the petition or she dies!" Images like the cat face and the hand would be easy things to take pictures of. I like how simple the cover is...too much text and too many pictures can sometimes be distracting.

Garden of Eden Found

I like how this cover has used the contrast in the photos to its advantage. There are a lot of dark areas in this cover and the areas have balanced it out very well with the white bold typing. Also I like how it isn't so busy, its a lot easier on the eye than a lot of the others I saw.

tabloid cover

I chose this cover because I thought it was funny. I also liked the layout of the cover as well.
When I saw this I instantly laughed out loud, I believe that this is a strong tabloid because the ridiculously funny displays and strong use of san serif type

Vampire Cat


I liked this cover because it took simple pictures such as a cat, baby, and a monkey, computer and made an awesome cover story. The layout is nice, and I'm enjoying the choice of font.

Der Fuhrer in einem Rock?!!

I love this one because it is a pretty obvious shop job but it still looks plausible. Then there is the bold font on a white background, it screams noteworthy news and the exclamation point, importance! Haha, and yes Rock is german for skirt/dress.

Jesus Flip Flop Found

I chose this image because it is...beyond ridiculous. I admire the use of photoshop in a semi-creative manner. This story in particular captures the ENTIRE cover...in other words, nothing is bigger than Jesus.
