Critique: Bits and Pieces


This is the landing page for the Eureka story. It is fairly simple, but it required mastery of a few action script. Each icon is for a different story. When the cursor is held over an icon, it changes color to yellow, shows the story title and then changes to black with a click just before the user is directed to a page with the individual story. The landing page uses the same design elements and typography as the feature spread.

Here are the two Short Talk department pages I've designed. The first is a single page from 2/4 and the other two are a spread from 3/4. The cut-out of the pothos turned out nice. I was really pleased with this department page. The anchor story for 3/4 was fun to work one, but the secondary and sidebar were a challenge. The images didn't come into until that Sunday. It was rather frustrating, but I was able to problem solve through the design process and get as much done as I could without the photos. The second page of this issue was switched up a bit for print because the sidebar seemed to carry the same weight, if not more, than the secondary.
