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.

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.
