Reply With QuoteFront raise = shoulder flexion, involves more of the anterior delt and even the pectorals
Lateral raise = shoulder abduction, more involvement of the medial head of the delt
I almost never do front raises. Most people get enough stimulation of the anterior delts from bench pressing.
In my experience, laterals are tough on the traps as well.

Front Raises v.s. Lateral Raises
I was just curious how these two exercises target your delts/lats differently?

I never do fronts, and rarely do sides - unless it's at the end of my shoulder work for that day.
If you're looking for ideas to train your delts, have a peek at my shoulder module: Got Built? ยป The Shoulders of GiantsWondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.
