newspaper analysis

The paper on the sun does not show a lot of text on their front cover of their newspaper. This is because the target audience for this particular paper is aimed mostly at males. In this case most of this gender tends for their eyes to be drawn towards pictures and large captions and texts rather than fine printed writing.
In this particular central image on this newspaper, it shows a woman with half naked holding a banner that has the word goal across it. This central image is there to draw the audiences eyes/ attention to the woman’s body in which is half naked.
This would therefore cause the target audience of males ages in their teens and above to draw attention to this paper and purchase it. However this may not always be the case as the audience such as younger and female aged genders would not tend to capture the effectiveness of the central image on this paper.

The font is simple and large because there is not much text in the front page so by making the font larger it would be clear on the content inside. This is shown as a headline, this may be a disadvantage to the Sun as some broadsheet readers would rather have more writing for information rather than captions.
However the position of the image connotes that the writing has some importance in the caption. They use a medium/long shot of the woman which allows the caption to cover explicit areas of the body but also allow the reader to see her face arms and part of the legs. Also uses top front lighting which makes the model look more glamorous.
