Wall Street Style Business Newspaper Front Page

A photorealistic overhead three-quarter view of a folded financial newspaper on a dark wooden desk, styled like a prestigious American business daily from the 1980s–2000s, with crisp realistic newsprint texture, subtle paper wrinkles, slightly worn folded edges, and warm morning sunlight casting diagonal window-shadow bands across the page. The masthead dominates the top in large classic serif capitals reading THE WALL STREET DAILY.. Directly beneath it is a thin header strip with small financial-paper details: "DOW JONES", "News Corp", the date line "MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2026 – VOL. CCLXXXV NO. 90", "WSJ.com", a star rating row, and the price "$5.00". The main lead story spans the upper center-left with a huge bold serif headline reading Cook to Step Down as Apple CEO; Ternus Named Successor. Below it is a smaller serif subheadline: "Transition caps 15-year run; company pivots to AI-driven future". Add a byline line in small caps with 2 reporters: "By Tim Higgins" and "And Joanna Stern". Fill the lead article with dense, fully legible multi-column newspaper body text about Tim Cook stepping down as Apple chief executive, John Ternus succeeding him, Apple's growth, AI strategy, and corporate transition; the text should read like authentic financial journalism, not placeholder gibberish. On the right half of the lead story, place a black-and-white engraved stipple portrait of a male executive in collared shirt and jacket, centered in a rectangular image area; the face is partially obscured by a pale gray square censor block over the eyes and upper nose, creating a modern satirical effect. At the top-right, include a sidebar box titled "What’s New" with exactly 2 subsection headers, "Business & Finance" and "World-Wide", each followed by bullet-point briefs in small serif text; include exactly 3 bullets under "Business & Finance" and exactly 4 bullets under "World-Wide", all fully typeset and legible. Beneath the main story, add a secondary banner article across the page titled "Silicon Valley Braces for New Chapter in AI Arms Race" with a byline "By Liz Hoffman" and several short columns of text about big tech, startups, OpenAI, Google, Meta, chips, platforms, and AI competition. To the right of this lower-middle section, insert a compact markets table titled "Markets" with exactly 4 rows labeled "DOW JONES", "S&P 500", "NASDAQ", and "10-YR. TREASURY", with columns for index/value/change/percent and realistic numeric values in tight newspaper tabular formatting. Along the bottom strip of the front page, include exactly 3 teaser boxes: left box with section label "Heard on the Street" and headline "Why Investors Are Rethinking Big Tech" plus page marker "B12"; center box with section label "Markets" and headline "Earnings Season Lifts Stocks Despite Rate Uncertainty" plus page marker "B1"; right box with section label "Inside" and headline "Private Credit Sees Inflow Surge as Yields Stay High" plus page marker "B14". Make all typography clean, sharp, perfectly legible, and consistently aligned in authentic newspaper grid layout with thin rules between columns, justified text, classic serif fonts, and realistic print contrast. The newspaper sits slightly rotated clockwise on the desk. In the environment, show a white ceramic coffee cup filled with black coffee in the top-right corner and a pair of dark-framed eyeglasses resting near the lower-right edge of the paper. In the top-left corner, include the cropped edge of a dark cylindrical object, likely a camera lens or tumbler. Overall mood: premium editorial mock front page, serious business-news aesthetic, believable print photography, ultra-detailed, natural shadows, high resolution.
