The varsity cheerleaders are heading to a national competition. They have had some set backs as a team, but they are hoping to make it to the finals. They also hope to their team bond grows stronger from this trip.
A8: This photo relates well to the story. I think it is a bit over exposed, especially since the background has a lot of white in it.
What rule of composition do you see in the photo? leading lines
What or who is the main subject? Kate Stubbs
Is the photo exposed properly? a tiny bit over exposed
Do you see evidence of a shallow or deep depth of field? yes, deep
B8: I think this photo has a good impact on the page because it is large and relates very well to the story. It is also well lit.

My favorite photo in the entire paper is Girls Just Wanna Have Fun(damental Human Rights). This is my favorite photo because I think it was the best quality photo and I like the out of focus background. I see cropping and background being used.
My least favorite photo in the entire paper is Award Winning. This is my least favorite because the subject isn't clear, the lighting is off, and there isn't that much color.
If I was a photographer on staff, I would liked to have covered "Varsity cheer prepares for national competition".
I would rate the photography in this issue a 7. I think the quality and content of photos could be improved. Otherwise, there were some very strong and interesting photos in this issue.

Front Pages of the World (Newspaper Design Intro)
1. My favorite newspaper front page is The Birmingham News. I like this newspaper because of the simplistic design. It has white space for your eye to rest from all the text.
2. My favorite headline from the newspaper is “The Fight to Make it Out Alive”. I am interested in this headline because it makes you want to read the story, and find out what "the fight" was.
3. There are 7 stories on the front page.
4. All newspapers have the newspaper name, a dominant story and relating photo, along with multiple headlines and story introductions. I also noticed most of them have a sidebar with text.
5. The font packages and layout of the newspapers are what I notice as the biggest difference between them all.
