Front Pages of The World

     My favorite newspaper is from Ukraine, and it's my favorite because the entire from page is one big photo and massive headline.

It's from Kiev, Ukraine.
My favorite headline is the only one you see because it definitely catches the reader's eye and quickly tells them what they want to get across.
There is only 3 stories.


The things newspapers have in common are big headlines, one main big photo, generally the main headline has a fancy/different font than the rest of the newspaper.
The difference in newspapers around the world are how they design their layout, what fonts they use, how they position photos, ads, and side stories.
