After purchasing a copy of The Sun newspaper, I photocopied the front cover and below I have highlighted the generic format and smapce dedication of a similar celebrity scandal. The features boxed up below must be incorporated into my replica and the space dedication on this particular front cover highlights how image-dominated a scandal is.
1. LOGO: Positioned in the top left corner, includes newspaper price, website, date and Olympic games countdown.
2. FEATURE: Promotional offer, usually relates to a discount from a family store or some sort of wholesome, family orientated reduction that would appeal to the majority of the broad target audience.
3. COLOURED PRE-HEADING: Red font, grabs the audience's attention and claims a 'Picture Exclusive' which adds further drama and photgraphed evidence to the scandal.
4. SUB-HEADING/POINTS: Very briefly gives the reader a short outline of the event/scandal, a development from the one word headline.
5. ARTICLE: A preview of an article - usually relates to politics, war or a broader worldwide event. Heavier news, yet reduced in space priority in comparison to the celebrity scandal.
6. IMAGE: Dominates the page, text and headlines layered over the top. Figures in the image are caught off guard and tends to have a paparazzi-esque feel.
7. HEADLINE: One descriptive word to set the tone for the article. Covers the width of the image and is the largest font on the page
8. ARTICLE 2: Smaller in size but more light-hearted or real life based. Based on an unknown figure with an interesting or shocking story.
9. PREVIEW: The beginning of the article. Includes editor's name, possibly a smaller image relating to the article and the text is bold and contained in a white textbox layered onto the main image.
