Main images in a newspaper

This image shows that the stereotype of boys playing football isn’t necessarily true which is shown by this image of the 3 girls each holding a football. They are positioned in the centre of the image making them the main focus for readers. The background is also slightly blurred out which makes them stand out as well as their bright football kits which creates contrast with the green grass. The way that they are stood with their hands on their hips and smiling suggests that they have won something and are proud to play football which makes the readers think girls can be just as good at sport especially football in this case as boys.

You can see by this image that it has positive connotations due to the large crowd of supporters and the trophy with ribbons on it being lifted suggests that they have won something large for where they live. The caption ‘BLUE HEAVEN’ suggests that the football team the players compete for is represented as blue as that is what the location of the place is uniquely known as being. The clapping of the fans hands shows that they are celebrating. The trophy is the main object in this photo as it has been positioned in the centre of the page which immediately grabs the readers attention.

This image shows that people have been waiting a long time to find out the name of a new Bristol shopping centre being built. You can see that its an exciting time because in the top centre of the image there is a man on a rope waving his arms suggesting that the long wait is nearly over and it will soon be completed. The readers can see that the main purpose of this image is to inform them of the newly released name. This is shown by the large bold font in capitalized letters making it stand out to the pale blue background. This also gives the readers a picture of what the text is going to be about before reading it so will know whether or not it is going to interest them.
