The Week
Image:
Consists of illustations of normally a few people behaving abnormally. The person or thing on the front cover is the main focus of the page. The text speaks to the image but sometimes does intrude on it, it helps add contect. No matteer who the person or thing is, the image is bold, striking and attention grabbing.
The illistration is well lit, the background is either plain or uncluttered, with the focus around the main image. The image on the cover can really sell the issue so getting a sense of that person's personality or the way they are being portrayed. The most important aspect of this cover style is to help engage the readers with the a glance.
Illustration:
illustrations on the cover help tell stories e.g two characters meeting or celebrities who habe never met before in real life. In all cases the illustration style must be bold, the colours vibrant and compostion engaging. The people must be recognisable but not photot-realistic; we want people to both see that it is an illustration and to get a sense of what they want to say.
Types of articles:
Serious or somewhat serious topics are presented in a humourous and degrogrative way to amuse audiences.

Illustration:
Illustration of a monkey becoming a human/ women, designed in a way that is evoultion has been expressed. The illustration is bold, and the colours are vibrant and the whole piece is engaging.
Type:
The use of words can add effect to the image. The use of the text, can create a talking point and add effect to the image, if there is one. For this approach the type has to be bold, unfussy and clear. The style has to reflect the message, for example this image is a call to action, like a protest poster. The leading text should be simple, it can anchor the cover and add more affect.
Types of articles:
The Econimist focuses on presenting the reader with a story without any fussy and tries to present it as real to what it is, without an inticing or fancy grabing cover or line.
