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 cover so much live design while I was busy trying to pull everything together from multiple sources (lots of reporters and photographers worked on the story, and we farmed some of the graphics out to an intern at another paper) while tons of editors kept close watch and had intense debates about headlines and display photos and what it all meant. Anyway, it was fun to work on, if not completely fucking stressful. Check out the web component here. This is the first in an occasional series. I’ll post the others as they roll out later this year.
