The Daily Mail's Front covers


Front covers


For my final task I am creating a front cover and a content page. I will gain knowledge from my research so I am able to create my productions. The 'Daily Mail' sells millions of copies a day, I need to identify how. Below is a copy of a 'Daily Mail' front cover.  



 Whilst doing my research looking and analysing the different styles of the Daily main newspaper i have noticed that they have a set structure in which they stick to. For example they use the strips at the top of the page as banners and use a colourful background just on the strip to make it stand out. They do this is nearly all of their newspapers. This approach has obviously been successful with their viewers. The main story lines are always in Black bold writing. Captions are underlined to make them stand out against the large text alongside them.

In comparison between the two newspapers they tend to change the placement in which they put the main image on the front cover. They use the line of three rule which organised the composition of the pictures. They are either placed on the right hand side as a tall portrait picture or they are either in the center of the bottom of the page as a landscape image. I will need to consider this when creating my newspaper, organising where my images will go and what way looks best.
