A1: using graphics as dominant art

Here’s my latest A1 design from the April 24th edition of the Verona-Cedar Grove Times.

Many designers worry that they don’t have a strong enough photograph to use as dominant art. That’s when a good graphic comes into play. In this centerpiece, I used a map of New Jersey as my main image and worked a timeline into the design. The timeline is simple: lines and circles.

Hidden gems: The perfect time to use a double truck layout

I just love this design. We were able to secure a double truck for a March 22 spread about some pretty awesome items at the Verona and Cedar Grove libraries.

Shout out to Dan Rosenblum for the great reporting and Adam Anik for photography.
