Design thread

Re: Design thread *Updated 2/4*

Man, is that going on your headstone?

Anyhoo, that ring page is dynamite. If that was the section's only Super Bowl preview page, that'd be an issue. But I assume they had a lot of pages, so that's a nice addition, the type of thing that looks better in a paper than on the Web.

Yeah, that would make that page. A giant, meaningless number.

I like the variety of designer tricks:

(1) Giant, meaningless number.

(2) Cliche headline.

(3) Too-small and too-hard-to-read reverse type.

And people wonder why circulation is dropping.

I was pretty sure that's where it was from but hadn't had a chance to go back through NPD.com and find it ...

It was a poster page on like 12C of the section.

I think that's a really nice cover ... and I'm totally spoiled by color.

 

Re: Design thread *Updated 2/4*

For the record, here's the other rings page.

The facing page was a game-by-game recap of SB history.

It's the best designers can do. They don't do words, ya know.
