Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Duluth News Tribune Entry Title: Becca Larson Page Design Portfolio Entry Credit: Becca Larson Judge Comment: Layout is appealing and draws in reader. I especially liked the lilac page. There is no reason newspapers can't dress up and the designer accomplished that.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Duluth News Tribune Entry Title: Mindy Wirtzfeld Page Design Portfolio Entry Credit: Mindy Wirtzfeld Judge Comment: Simple yet attractive. Normally would not encourage copy to be laid out at a slant, but the green page worked. Also liked the black page and the way information was boxed to make it easier for the reader to access.
