I went for the second, but I don't like the bleed. You're The Daily News, not Vogue.

I didn't vote for airborne Tejada in the first round but I did today.

Bleed is weird. Tejada's almost-jaunty expression is weirder. Still... the DW 'line is 'bleh.' Rubes.

How about wasting most of the bottom half of the front page with black ink?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is bleed?

Edgy MD Dec 17 2015 04:21 PM Re: 2015 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 2.4.1

When the photo in a periodical, rather than being cropped into a frame, runs over the edge of the page.

Thanks, I just learned something NOW!!

I voted for the Post page, though, because flawed as it is, it's better than the News page. I think David Wright should be on the left side of the page and THE SHIP! should be on the right. I don't like how David is facing the edge of the page.

Both of these covers are front covers, interestingly enough.

I like both of them so I went with the more Met-positive of the two events.
