My Yearbook Spread

Other high school newspapers

1. My favorite newspaper cover is Odyssey because I really like the design and font that they chose for the title and the picture is really high quality and really grabbed my attention.
2. The newspaper that my eyes went directly to was The Herald because the full page picture grabbed my attention and the way the red text contrasted with the grey toned picture really caught my attention.
3. On The Herald, there was mainly only one headline, and what I like about it is how it draws attention to such a powerful picture that it is related to.
4. There is only a headline on the front cover, and no stories, so I can't decide truly on a "favorite"
5. Lots of newspapers have a title that is obviously bigger than the rest of the text on the paper, and some have only one picture, covering the entire page, and a headline to go with it, while others have one main story on the page, and other, smaller stories on the page as well. If the newspapers have stories on the page, what I saw was that they usually had three to four stories on the cover, with one main story and headline.
6. What was different about these newspapers, all in total, was that there was quite an overall range of stories they put on the front page; some had none and some had four. Another difference in these newspapers is the color pallet and the range of colors these papers used. Some covers were in black and  white, and I saw some newspapers where everything was in full blown color, like yellows and reds. Another thing that varied was the number of photos on the page, some had one dominant photo, accompanied by smaller photos, some had only one photo covering the entire page, like my favorite paper, and others had an array of pictures a little bit on the smaller side.
7. I think these newspapers were very similar to the other ones we looked at, the only difference I've found is that there seems to be a lot more of full page picture covers.

Front pages of the world

1. My favorite newspaper is the Colorado Springs Independent because its very unusual, it has one large dominant photo, and it takes up the whole page.
2. My favorite headline is the only headline, titled "Puppy Love". This interests me because it is the biggest feature, so it grabs my attention.
3. There is one story on the front page, with tabs that say what is on the other pages of the magazine.
4. Most newspapers have a Title, larger that the rest of the text on the page, and at least 3 photos on the page, with captions and headlines that tell what the story is about
5. Some things that newspapers differ in is that some have only one or two headlines, like my favorite. Also, they might have more or less coverage. And, what they put on their front pages, like if they have ads or entertainment stories, weather stories, or political stories on the sidebars of the newspaper.

Spiral Staircases

http://petapixel.com/2014/12/19/disorienting-beauty-spiral-staircases-old-abandoned-buildings/

This website had pictures of abandoned staircases, ranging from classy to trashy. It also talked about the photographer of these photos and the history behind them. I learned how these photos came about, and how the photographer used to explore these abandoned buildings for fun, then started capturing these images

I chose this photo because the staircase gives the illusion of going on forever. I really like how rusty and old this looks too, like it has its own story
