Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Blaine, Spring Lk Park, Columbia Hgt, Fridley Life Entry Title: Life Typography & Design Entry Credit: Jonathan Young, Paige Kieffer, Patrick Slack Judge Comment: In general, a clean and modern look. Good variance in headline sizes to create hierarchy.
Letting the "Rockin' in the park" photo carry the Aug. 13 was a smart decision.
The "Lucy's Burgers" package on the March 21 front was a creative design.
Most of the time, a good mix of dominant and secondary photos. The sports photos on Page 27 in the Sept. 11 edition, however, were forced into some awkward crops in a cramped grid. Using fewer images in an asymmetrical design would have been a better way to go.
Competition Comment: No entries chosen for 2nd and 3rd place.
