Tabloid Cover
Face of Satan seen over US Capitol!
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
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
Garden of Eden Found
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
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.

Garden of the Gods
This particular poster caught my attention because of its composition and the great use of colors. Each color is used to designate only the feature it is used for. The orange for the jutting rock structures, yellow for the sky and clouds suspended in it and then a cool green used for the trees. As if to make it seem like the rocky outcroppings are stranded in the middle of some unorthodox tree ocean. Plus the sheer detail within the picture, almost every tree is individually defined, every crevice and crack can be seen on the rock faces and then the billowy light clouds.
Devils Tower
I used this poster of Devils Tower because I liked it. I like the use of colors as well as the placement of everything.
The Zion National Park poster brought my attention because of the use of color, the shades and tints and how it makes the viewer see different perspectives through the use of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines to show the perspective of the poster. the use of color was able to give it a warm, yet color tone and it was able to balance the the composition.
Acadia National Pork...mmmmm

I feel as this composition was well thought out from the color scheme to the placement of the elements and overall balance within the picture
Crater Lake, Oregon

I found this poster to be the most appealing because it found a way to make land, water and sky all equally appealing without a specific focus on one natural landscape. The colors are eye-popping and the mustard yellow provides draws the eye without being too overbearing.
