I designed Page One today

1a_01-08-09… and I was satisfied with how it turned out.

The point of the design for today’s News-Sentinel was to play up not only the major news of the day, but also to make sure the reader could tell we had an exclusive interview with the family.

Did this page do the trick? Was it different enough from the front page of Brand X?

I really like that big head — the NS uses a really great Caslon’y font. And that big pic for the “all about the budget” story looks really good. The copy I picked up today had perfect offset and looked really nice.

I personally didn’t care for the use of the word “despondent”, because that makes it sound like the police shot him because he was depressed. I realize that this probably wasn’t your doing, though.

Ah, I miss the world of newspapers sometime! Sometimes it’s fun to critically examine the layout of news pages, and whenever I do that in front of laypeople they think I’m crazy.
