‘America hasn’t forgotten’
More news designs to share! This small but fun package ran this past Sunday in Viewpoint. The story –which is a great read and might make you tear up a little or, ahem, a lot — is here.

Old news
When my friends Brandon and Amanda moved into their new apartment, they came upon an April 4, 1950, issue of The Commercial Appeal, and they were kind enough to let me get my grubby paws on it. The thing is quite yellowed and brittle, and has a tendency to shed bits of itself as you flip carefully from page to page. It’s fascinating stuff; the pages are absolutely chock full of tiny briefs and stories…

True Crime part two: The layout
Part two of the True Crime series rolled out on Sunday. The story chronicles the Clementine neighborhood, which is statistically the most violent area of Memphis. Some pretty incredible journalism here. Part one’s layout is here.

True Crime: The Layout
Nine pages of news-design goodness. Next installment hits the streets Oct. 18. (Please ignore the wonky spread alignment here; were I smarter, I would have tweaked the spreads before uploading individual pages, but I am very, very dumb sometimes. Rest assured that the folios printed in alignment. Or should have.)

What I’ve been working on for two weeks
Every now and then I get to head up the design on a special project at work, and for a couple of weeks now I’ve been wrestling with this behemoth True Crime special section (will post images as soon as I can get my hands on them; the front-page teeze is at left). A lot of hours and eye twitches went into this section, and I’m really grateful for my co-workers for stepping up to…

Day 98: Hot off the Presses
Spent my evening working on a Flash project for work. It didn’t start out well, because I’m still in self-teaching mode (and rusty from the weeks of atrophy following my early February Flash blitz course). But it ended just fine. In fact, I leapt up from my chair and ran around the water fountain and danced a little jig. I hope my luck holds because I’ve got to haul ass to get this thing done…

Day 15: The Press
Busy busy busy night at work. Lots of news, lots of news meetings and meetings about news. We’re trying to plan for our inauguration coverage and get the daily paper out and all the while, the entire newspaper industry is collapsing around us. It’s, if I may coin a rather vulgar phrase, a clusterfuck of epic clusterfuckitude. We’ve got Hearst trying to sell the Seattle P-I (where my former art director works) and now the…

Surreal, day two
My friend Coco provides some narration for the scene out in front of our office at roughly 3 p.m. Thursday (day two of Mission: Everyone Suddenly Wants Newspapers): ‘Milk it while we got it’ from Lindsey Turner on Vimeo. Last night the TV news (I forget which station) broadcast live out front at 10, and the story was about how the paper was the hottest-selling item in town. So, so weird.
