The Daily Mirror is a tabloid styled Newspaper, which sports a red coloured masthead, for effect. Out of all colours, red is the one which our minds are trained to react to quickest, constantly used for emergency signs, fire alarms, alarms in general. It gives the feeling of emergency so this draws the attention of the audience.
The main image shows an altered close up of the statue of liberty, covering her face, with a cloudy, almost dystopian background. The statue also seems to have no colour left in it, and is complete stone white, instead of it's usual musty copper green colour. This will be intirguing to the audience, making them wonder why the for front of new York is being portrayed as just any other statue. The rhetorical question, "What have they done?" shows the view of Daily Mirror on the whole Situation of Trump Being president. But the effect of not mentioning the word trump in big text is so the audience are intrigued as to who "they" is. This ends up being the pull quote, second biggest font, the first biggest if you don't regard the masthead, as most people care less for the title of the magazine as much as they do, what the cover is talking about.
The headline and a small tagline towards the bottom are both in red. Although, "It's President Trump", draws more attention due to it's alertness. It's placed at the centre top of the image, in a bigger red font. In addition, this is where the use of the word "Trump" comes into play. At the time, this newspaper would have been published, likely right after trump got elected as president for america. This was big news at the time, most websites and TV channels would use this subject as a nice way to get more views and popularity. Moreover, Trump was a citizen outside of the country this newspaper is published in. So our views aren't 100% biased whereas more newspapers in the country of america may have views which align more with trump being president. However, it's a topic which we've chosen to take up, whilst being joint elite nations. We both share the red, white and blue.
Unexpectedness makes itself a presence through the words "Trump Triumphed" using alliteration to gain the audience's attention.
