1. My favorite newspaper cover was the Arizona Daily Sun's. I liked it because the pictures and text wrapped neatly together and looked very organized. The use of lots of pictures grabbed my attention because most people won't be reading the words on a newspaper cover, they'll probably look at the pictures. 2. The headline that interested me the most was "Trump, teens on collision course." I was interested in this one because I have opinions on the gun control issue, which is what the article is talking about. Also because of the word use "teen" because I'm a teenager. 3. There are four stories on the cover of my favorite one. Most of them continue on to another page because headline stories are going to be interesting, which usually leads to a longer story for the audience to read. 4. Something all of these newspapers have in common is that the name of their newspaper is printed very large and on the top of the page. This lets the reader reall...

Inclusivity/diversity Long Response: 1. The company who makes these cell phone pouches is called Yondr. The company was founded when the owner discovered the need for this product while witnessing lack of social interaction because of cell phones. 2. Around 600 different high schools across the country have started using Yondr in classes. It's become increasingly popular, and the benefits are clear in San Lorenzo HS. 3. The concept behind these pouches is so that people who invest in them can "lock" away their phones. The reason why is because cell phones can take away attention from more important things, like an event. 4. At San Lorenzo HS, there were many benefits from using Yondr.

This article was about classifying video gaming as an addiction. Many people play video games for hours on end, and it's hard for them to quit or stop. These behaviors are similar to those of drug addicts and alcoholics. 2.

As well as giving an increased attention to the gaming behaviors that it affects daily life. Lastly, continuing playing the games despite a pattern of negative consequences. 3.

The Four Cover Types    Early magazine covers existed in the mid-1700s and through the 1800s. These "covers" often didn't have pictures or much of a description at all to what lies inside. They were set up like a book cover, with a title on the top, or maybe a short table of contents. They looked very different from modern magazine covers.    The poster cover was a magazine cover that consisted of only a picture and the magazine company. Just one big picture would be the cover, that's it. This acts as a bait for the readers because if the cover is interesting enough, they might buy it, even without a description.    In the early 1900s was when words and pictures finally started to come together to make a better magazine cover, pictures married to type. At this time, there was often one big picture and several hints and descriptors around the edge of the cover and bordering the image.    Modern magazine covers are referred as a forest of word...

"Eyes closed, surrounded by a cut-out Carolina Herrera neckpiece, Lady Gaga looks like she's ready to explode. Photographed by Terry Richardson, what compels about the cover is both the graphics and the rare stillness of a superstar. Here, cut-out means a knockout."   I like this portrait the best because of the balance in the image. The neckpiece is a large symmetrical factor which balances out the photo by filling the frame. The white of the neckpiece also looks nice with Lady Gaga's outfit and her makeup in the image. The pink of her lipstick also matches the Bazaar logo, which ties it all together, in a way. Lady Gaga's pose also seems to portray a sense of relaxation and peace which using the color white for fits nicely. It all just looks visually pleasing and it's a very good picture. There isn't much text to distract from the image, which was a good choice.

Five things you should be thinking about when designing a magazine cover. 1. Uniqueness in your cover is very important, because you want your cover to stand out from all the other ones. You want to grab your reader's attention and make them look at your unique cover. 2. The subject of your cover is also important because that's what people look at. Most people will only look at what's on the cover, what picture is used, so it's very important that you use a visually interesting picture as your cover photo. 3. Have a familiar "theme" to all of your covers. If a reader looks at a cover and recognizes your brand because of the familiar look and theme of your cover, they'll probably be more likely to buy your brand's magazine again. 4. Make the reader curious. Your cover should have a clue on it that makes the reader want to read the magazine. Looking at the cover, it's good when a reader can be curious by looking at the cover, wanting to rea...
