The poster front page is not limited to tabloid formats, as seen in how The Plain Dealer, of Cleaveland, Ohio, displayed coverage of the Obama acceptance speech. Simple, elegant, to the point, and aesthetically a 10.
The other front pages we chose to show you use photos to maximize effect of the event, with second day headlines that don’t repeat what people knew already. Obama followers may decide to keep these front pages as souvenirs. But even those who simply looked at them over their first cup of coffee and went on about their day had to stop and look.
That is the power of poster front pages, especially when editors and designers seize the moment, blend words and images and decide that sometimes less is best.
