The following image (right) is my attempt of a re-make of a guardian newspaper front cover. I have included typical headlines, strap-lines, splashes and jump-lines to make it seam somewhat realistic.
At the top of the newspaper i have referenced Ariana Grande, a popular pop singer. The guardian often has music icons and other figures of entertainment arts at the top band of the newspaper. This is shown in the other examples with Coldplay and Prince being celebrated or advertised. The typical 'the guardian' icon brand is bellow this and then taking up the majority of the page are political issues, debates and events. Although my newspaper cover only has events from British politics, other covers show political events from foreign countries as well. Unlike other newspapers such as 'The Sun', the guardian isn't swamped with large images, instead it is much more text based. At the bottom band of the page are ads which are also typical of the guardian newspaper
Ed, you have created a detailed and informative front cover which largely adheres to the form and conventions expected in The Guardian newspaper. Clearly you have developed a firm understanding of media language and representation in terms of newspapers. This depth of understanding is not clearly evident in your analysis of this work. However in other blog posts you have included more detailed analysis.
