Representation on the front pages

The image on the front page of this paper shows somebody in a tracksuit in front of a car on fire. It immediately creates the stereotypical idea in the readers head that it is a youth, in a tracksuit who set the car on fire as they tend to cause trouble. The use of the word 'ANARCHY' in large block capitals also makes the reader think that youths create trouble and go against the law. They used this font to make it stand out to catch the readers attention. 'Mindless Violence' is saying that all youths are mindless and stupid, as they don't know what they are doing which is an incorrect stereotype. The use of red font creates a negative image as red is typically used to portray death, sadness, or pain. The slightly formal use of language is used to make them seem better than the people who are creating the riot.
The representation has been constructed by the use of Photoshop, from a man (who was actually 35 so not a youth) and a car on fire, to make it look bad to The Suns audience which is middle class. The colours of the fire straight away create a negative vibe, and the choice of person used also makes a negative vibe due to their posture and choice of outfit. The camera angle has made it seem as like it is a result of the mans actions, when it is not. The size of the person compared to the fire is out of proportion meaning that it it makes the man seem powerful, and therefore makes the reader think that he is intimidating and people should be scared of him, adding to the incorrect stereotype. 
This article fits in with the typical tabloid conventions as the large image on the front, means less writing, and this is what a typical 'The Sun' readers likes.

The image in this article shows people lying on the floor following a terrorist attack on London Bridge. Due to the text on the front in large block letters, the person being represented in this article is the terrorist who killed 7 people. As you can see people lying on the floor, either dead or injured, it immediately will make the reader feel emotive and angry. It shows that terrorists are evil and deranged. You are shown the stereotypical act of a terrorist, however the words 'JIHADI KILLER IN AN ARSENAL SHIRT' makes it realatable for a lot of people due to the arsenal shirt, also making it more realistic. They used this as the headline because The Sun want people to be wary, thinking that anyone could be a terrorist, not just a typical looking Muslim.
The representation has been constructed using an extremely graphic and real looking image, covering the front page. The dark lighting makes the image seem scarier and more suspicious. The picture of the man in the top right corner makes the reader envisage the scene, and therefore the fear and panic that went on. The choice of the font, makes it stand out over the picture, and the tone is informal. This suits The Suns targeted audience as they are not typically focused on a higher class ABC1 audience as they are a tabloid, therefore making their headlines more like gossip for their target audience which is C2DE. The article does fit with the conventions of a tabloid paper as they are focused on the fact he was wearing an Arsenal shirt, more than the fact he killed 7 people and injured 48, as this is in small writing in the bottom corner, making it what their readers want to read.
