Front Pages of the World

1. I like the Newspapers from Asia because they are different then the ones we see in America. Because the text has to go up and down instead of left to right the pictures have to be moved around differently and it looks cool.

2. One of the newspapers I saw was talking about the Grammy's and it show Meryl Streep.

3. Three or four?

4. There is always a big heading.

5. The layout of the articles to pictures.
