Front Pages of The World

New York Post, because personally the big lettering & the giant pictures catch my attention. And i like how there isn't much going on in the cover, so it drew my attention.

"2 Deadly Minutes" because it makes you wonder what is going on and who was involved. the word "Deadly" caught my attention out of the whole newspaper.

Two stories

Some title lines are bigger & bolder than the rest. There is always at least one big picture to go with the cover story. The sizes vary .

The number of cover stories. The number of pictures. And the title of the newspaper.
