Other High School Newspapers

1. Lafayette's the Image had my favorite magazine cover. It had a large picture of many colored pencils, with one higher and sticking out from the others. I really like this because it is a very creative way to get through their message of uniqueness.
2. The North High Oracle immediately grabbed my attention. It had a picture of a mysterious tunnel system with the text, "What You Don't Get To See," in large font. It gives the idea of there being something worth knowing about and made me curious.
3. My favorite headline was the Hanford Altitude's, "Cannabis Culture." The headline gives a clear indication of the story, while the alliteration makes it phonetically appealing.
4. There are no stories on the cover of my favorite, but three lines of text summarizing the ideas of a main story.
5. The newspapers are all either poster magazine cover style with very few words, or contain a few stories in their entirety with a dominating picture. Every cover was either based on one very large picture, or was fairly text heavy.
6. The school newspapers varied between magazine and typical newspaper covers. About half stuck to the common above the crease rule of newspaper, while magazine covered ones didn't take the rule into account with the picture. The magazine covered newspapers had less words in a much larger font.
7. The large amount of poster covers is extremely dissimilar to the newspapers of the world. Most of the world newspapers had multiple stories on their cover, and the pictures were their own box- without text layered on top.
