Typography and Design ( Under 5,000 Multi-Day)Back
Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Detroit Lakes Tribune Entry Title: Detroit Lakes Tribune Typography & Design Entry Credit: Detroit Lakes Tribune Staff Judge Comment: Bold design that incorporates lead art in nameplate and section flags.
Well-organized news and sports sections with varied headline and photo sizes that create hierarchy. Mug logos, pull quotes and labels are attractive.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Owatonna People's Press Entry Title: Owatonna People's Press Typography and Design Entry Credit: Owatonna People's Press Staff Judge Comment: Good use of dominant art on news and sports fronts. Varied type sizes create hierarchy. Clean, well-organized inside pages and sports section. Fact boxes and mug logos are attractive. I'd make labels about 5 pts. bigger. Nameplate takes up some valuable real estate on Page 1.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Bemidji - The Bemidji Pioneer Entry Title: Typography and Design Entry Credit: Bemidji Pioneer Judge Comment: Good mix of dominant and secondary photos. Sports pages in Sept. 9 and March 13 editions are particularly attractive.
The default headline typeface feels a bit dated. I'd also suggest more variance on headline sizes (especially on inside pages) to create more hierarchy.
