I decided to look at "The Sun", "The Daily Mail" and the "Times".
The first thing i decided to look at was the amount of information that you get with each paper.
As you can see the paper with the most information by far is the "Times" this is down to the shear amount of booklets and detail within the paper with separate sections printed in own paper. The times on saturday consists of 5 different sections in the paper along with 3 booklets. The mail has the least information due to only having a one newspaper accompanied with 2 booklets. The sun is in the middle of the two with a lot of adds slotted into the paper.
I then decided to look how the text and layout looks so by compairing pages 2 and 3 we can see how the times has much more information with less imagery on this spread. but if you look at the sun you can see alot of imergry colours with less text on the page. if we then look at the daily mail we can see there is alot of imagery and colours on the page but not as much as the sun with more text on the page with more information.
i then looked at the differences between each papers T.V magazines. You can see a dramatic variation in the different magazines with the sun simply displaying whats on at what time with no real information about the programming of the day. the mail has more of whats the programs initials and what may be interesting to watch. but the times gives you a truly detailed edition with a lot of information on the programmings of the day.
The final thing I want to look at is the differences in the layout. I decided to focus on the way they set the date and papers name. If we look at the sun we can see a bold and easily readable text and layout. The paper has decided to include its logo on each page with colour. The Mail and the Times uses a similar font as the sun but use increasingly thin text compared to the sun they also decided to publish there name on each page but layout the text in a more sophisticated way.
