Tabloid Newspaper


The Sun is a tabloid newspaper its primary target auidence are men aged 16 and upwards. The most striking thing about this front cover is the half naked women covering her breasts up with a banner that contains part of the headline. This will grab the target audiences attention and encourage them to buy the paper. The women is centred and takes up over half the total page space making sure that the reader will be able to see it.

The headline is split up in two different places the second part of the headline "Goal" is on a banner seperate from the main part of the headline. The word "goal" is a pun as it relates to the topic of the newspaper, the world cup but also connotes to scoring with women.

The page has very little text only two small paragraphs that do not relate to the main story. Apart from that it is large font and pictures. This is because the target audience will be more intrested in looking at women and sport than reading large boxes of text than someone who reads the Telegraph.

The composition of the image on the page makes it so you are immeditatly drawn to it which is helped by the image being a medium long shot enabling the reader to see the image in more detail.

The overal colour of this paper is black, apart from the masthead everything is black which contrasts with the women making her stand out more and the male want to buy the newspaper more so they can look at the picture for aslong as they want.
