Re: Design thread *Updated 1/13*

I think this page is perfect for the reader who has a short attention span.
I guess that would be most of our readers. ;D

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 1/13*

Now, what was that page about again?

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 1/9*

An error which drags the whole page down, actually. [/notsarcastic] How many people checked that page and missed that detail?

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 1/13*

I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume the Redskins type was swallowed by the PDF ghost.

I am bothered by the way some cutouts literally overlap others. A few solutions: make the cutouts smaller overall, or use a full photgraph but contain it within the capsule (though that would be even more boring, I'm afraid).

Also, what is the background on the page? Is it a Photoshop texture? (I'm too blind to tell)
I think it adds a nice depth to the whole package.

They were busy looking at the design. We know that's more important. [/today's "editors"]

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 1/13*

I'm quite certain that was the case here. especially on a file that size. it happens to me all the time, I don't know why

Kill heds in the New York times seems so WRONG. It should read:

Four N.F.L. Playoff Games This Weekend, All Rematches
From Regular Season Games. With Three Decided
By 10 Points or Less, Including One In Over-Time

A nice package ... though the biggest photo on the page (the Moss one) is pretty weak to lead the cover. Kinda surprised they didn't find a better shot from the first Skins-Seahawks game of the season, especially since they obviously have access to Getty, Reuters and anything else they want. Something with a bit more impact, perhaps, like the Broncos-Pats photo.

Other than that, I like the built-in air and contrast in the type sizes. And the content is cool. Looking back at the previous matchups is something readers wouldn't immediately find when taking a spin through Yahoo or ESPN.com. Nice.

That page isn't saying anything you couldn't find in less than five minutes on the Internet. I know it's the Times, but space isn't being budgeted very well there. It's a big fat bloated rehash of old news.

Can I go?

This is a graphic I did for a publication called Blue Jackets Beat, which covers that NHL team. Team was riddled with injuries, so Vetrutian Man it was. (Inset is a detailed sliver of the graphic.)
