1. My favorite newspaper front page is American News from South Dakota because i feel that they have a variety of fonts that correspond with their pictures.
2. My favorite headline from this front page is "Youngsters Help Hub City Hospital" I'm interested in it because i'd like to know how and what the kids helped do at their local hospital.
3. They're are four stories on the front page of my favorite newspaper.
4. What most newspapers have in common is that they are very long and narrow, they all have one dominate photo and headline at the top of the front page and they all have some sort of other connections as way of contact such as a website.
5. Something that varies in newspapers' front covers is the font and layout design, some pages have sideline stories while others do not.

Newspaper Design Notes.
Broadsheet- tall and narrow
Tabloid- short and square-ish
Folio- contains reference information (page number, name, date etc.)
Byline- name of writer and their position (title)
Lines- separate the stories
Teasers- small sections that preview to what's inside
Info graphic- way to display information visually

Lenses and Photography Vocab.
I would use a telephoto lens to take a picture at a concert.
I would use a prime lens to take a picture of a unique looking flower.
I would use a wide-angle lens to take a picture of a landscape.
Depth of Field- pertains to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. You can use depth of field to take better photos by blurring out your background.
Light- a source that brings the picture to life depending on where it comes from and how much there is of it. You can use light to make your photos better by having the correct amount of exposure.
Shadows- can be effectively used to focus a viewer's attention. You can use shadows to improve your photos by covering what is unneeded or distracting in a picture.
Diffusion- the action of spreading light, as to reduce harsh shadows or soften the look of artificial light. You can use diffusion to make your photos better by covering up the flash with a thin sheet of paper.
Exposure- the measured amount of light allowed on each section of a photo. You can make your photos better by making sure the amount of light let in or exposure is right.
Aperture- the size of the hole on a camera in which a certain amount of light is let in. You can improve your pictures by changing the aperture in different lighting situations.
Shutter speed- is the speed in which the aperture is allowed to open and then close. You can take better pictures by changing your shutter speed according to if an object is in motion.
ISO- is the sensitivity to light. Your pictures will be better if you keep the ISO low, otherwise photos will be grainy.
