"BFD" has a few meanings; two come to mind; both apply. In the "official" meaning, used here, it stands for Best Front Design -- an award given by Brass Tack Design. (Founder Alan Jacobson once had a hand in designing the Pilot, FYI, and is well known in newspaper circles as a design consultant for many papers.)The link above shows the page and discusses it and other pages of the same day. Interestingly, the page from the Times Herald-Record, which we looked at in class, is mentioned as well.

Here's a sample comment.
I really like the layout of this page a lot. The headline for the top story is nice and direct and, coupled with the photo, really directs the reader to the story. What I like most about the page though, is the treatment of the City Council story. The photo and headline are brilliant. They almost play up the fact the meetings can be unbearably dull, but I still find myself wanting to read what the reporter had to say.
