    This tabloid cover is clearly fake, and I do not expect anyone to be haunted by Elmo anytime soon. How could anyone possibly imagine the little furry monster sneaking into children's closets and haunting them in the middle of the night? This fake tabloid fits the theme of “tabloid news” extremely well.  In creating this image, I hoped to create a realistic-style cover, image, and humorous portrayal of the tabloid/celebrity news theme.

    Just like the first image, this tabloid is clearly fake, and I do not expect any UFOs to hover around the Chrysler building any time soon.  This imaginary tabloid fits the theme of “tabloid news” extremely well since The ensuing chaos from an alien invasion in the United States' biggest city and arguably the economic capital of the world would have dire consequences for humanity. In creating this image, I hoped to create a realistic-style cover, image, and humorous portrayal of a typical tabloid news story: alien invasion.

As the cover depicts, chaos is in control of the situation.I do not expect any turkeys to revolt against humanity any time soon.  This imaginary tabloid fits the theme of “tabloid news” extremely well, as it depicts an event that is seemingly unimaginable: turkeys becoming fed up with the way Thanksgiving is celebrated and have revolted against the holiday. Through this image, I created a believable cover that attracts readers with its graphic images and striking headlines.
