Many thanks to Andrew Long for guesting in class yesterday and for critiquing some class work. Much of what he said involved "layering," an attempt by contemporary news designers to provide information in usable "chunks" and in related packages that appeal visually, intellectually, practically. I've posted three examples of papers that did some layering with their main stories.
Since your assignment (due Monday) is to revisit your A1 pages and apply layering techniques, these should be helpful. Don't neglect visiting newseum and pulling other examples. It's one of the best ways to learn. Also, Poynter's Page One Today blog offers many examples of news judgment expressed in design. The three pages I just posted came from there.
