Tabloid Headline Maker
Make tabloid sounding newspaper headlines!
Definitions of what a tabloid newspaper is has changed over the years – originally it meant to be a smaller paper, as opposed to the larger, so-called broadsheets, which often were the more “serious” or “proper paper.” Tabloids developed a reputation for headlines that in a digital age might be called clickbait, or rage-bait – designed to get you reading about the thing they are talking about or angry and so on.
Sometimes the headlines were, lets be generous and say exaggerated, or not telling the whole truth, such as missing important context. Sometimes, especially for the more nefarious publications, the headlines were outright lies, often following an agenda from the editors or publication owners!
This PDF gives you a series of table for making your own Tabloid headline, along with suggested formats and topics!
Designers note – The table entries have a leaning towards those that might be found in UK (That’s where I am from) tabloids, so some terms may need tweaking/replacing as appropriate for your part of the world.
