Broadsheet newspapers tend to have a lot of information written in columns around one large primary image which is intended to catch the viewers eye and make them want to read it. Broadsheet newspapers are very informative on the front cover and have a lot of information about a certain story which suggests that it is packed with information inside and there are lots of stories. It is quite plain with not a lot of colour. The masthead is large and bold with a logo in the middle.

Tabloid newspapers are much more formal and look like they are targeted at a lower class audience due to it being less formal and maybe for younger people. It has quite a lot of colour on the front cover which immediately draws the eye to the newspaper. It consists of a main story but has far less writing and just gives a brief view of the story meaning that you have to read to find out more. It also has more images including a secondary one. It is a very busy newspaper cover. The masthead is also bold and includes colour.
