For this "My Denver" feature, I organized with editors and their staffs newsroom-wide to get a wide variety of locals to offer their hidden secrets as tips to visitors. I really wanted all walks of life represented -- from Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony to Bachelorette star Trista Sutter to local business leaders to a local rabbi. I chased down a lot of mugs and had to do a lot of editing for length, but the feature was popular. I also designed these pages.
I thought a poster page would be a nice break in the special section, and, after hearing about Oprah starting this vision board craze, thought it'd be funny to create Obama's board. I actually cut out magazine words and pictures and taped them to a board that was then photographed, leaving room for tpye. I designed this page, as well.
We wanted to run a calendar featuring as many of the upcoming events as possible, but I didn't want it to be a long, gray boring list. So, I worked with the designer to come up with this approach, featuring a key. This let readers know what was open to the public, where they might spot a celeb, what was free, what was at night, what was during the day, etc. I like how clean and easy it is to navigate.
