Two different styles of posts

I’m working on installing a blog for a friend of mine. It’s a news blog for soccer. He wants the design to be similar to [url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/]this site[/url] in that there’s a headline with an image and a link to the whole article. He also wants posts below that. My question is this, how exactly can I set up his blog so that it publishes posts differently, depending on if it’s going to be a headline or a regular article? If anyone could point me to a tutorial, or even a template, that does this, I think I can figure it out.

Thanks.
