Newspaper cover design
A small sample of some of the covers that I had the opportunity to work on. Each section had it’s own unique style and requirements and Editor. I had 3 hours to come up with a design, get it approved by the section editor, and then finish it off in time for the final changes by the Editor.
This daily pressure made me a better designer as I didn’t have time to come up with multiple ideas or proofs. It trained me to go with my instinct on what was the best design solution.
