New Pages I've forgotten to post
Second Front: 7.21
I liked using the In the Moment, it gave the page more white space than usual. The art head isn't very good, but works with the space. The copyeditor liked that headline, and it was the best I could come up with.
1A page: 7.22
This page was lambasted (not really, but I like that word) by my professor. I am not using two line headline, mostly because I just don't think about it, and in this case, it definitely deserved one. Other than no second line on that MesaAir headline, I still like this page.
1A page: 6.29
Here is another example of not using a two line headline. I love my art head, but there is no lead story on this page. Looking at it now, it is obvious. While the MesaAir lead at least has space around it, this one just looks cramped and not important.
1A page: 7.13
Horray a good 1A page again! I like this page, it seems very nice. I love the square photo on the page, I don't think we use enough square photos. Ahh...cropping.

News features
So I've switched out my Second Front shifts and started doing both the Wire and feature pages. Wire is fun because I get to pick the news and feel smart, but the pages aren't really pushing me design-wise. It'll help just to tell people I've worked with the wire. Yet another resume filler.
My feature pages, however, are neat. Usually we get one page, sometimes a jump, and they are created whichever way we want to create them that week (granted, we have to stay in boring News-style, but I don't mind it) Here are my first three feature pages:
Faith: 7.2
Faith: 7.16
Muse: 7.23

Vox pagess I've forgotten to post
Here are my last few features/covers for vox:
The family bluegrass band-photo essay! How do you make a boring Christan family exciting? green background.
The Disaster issue! These boxes gave me the hardest time...especially when their placements needed to move on Monday night! overall, the spread turned out very well. Each story has its own icon. I'll post my icons later to show you how cool they are.
The rodeo cover. After this, I don't want to put a photo on the cover EVER again. It's completly the WRONG photo for vox, but what can you do?
My Bollywood cover! Considering my art was all pub stills, I decided to embrase the tackiness head-on. I think this cover is a mix between MTV movie awards and a Bollywood sign, hence the name.
