5 things to see
- Valentine’s Day Guide | The Daily Orange, Syracuse University
This illustration is beautifully detailed and very tailored to Syracuse. It works really well as the cover for their special section — I just wish they had teasers for some of their articles on the cover.
2. Ascent | Indiana Daily Student, Indiana University
I love how the arm and ball of the photo extend beyond the frame into the section header.
3. Ohio budget| The Post, University of Ohio
The relation between the illustration and the topic of the article is immediately clear. I love the idea of making it an old school calculator, as if someone is actually trying to figure out the budget.
4. You’ll be missed Tom | The Daily Emerald, University of Oregon
This photo is a nice shot of the professor in the classroom and the black-and-white treatment is a good way to show respect. The simplicity of the cover keeps the focus on the photo.
5. The 2018 Ka Leo career guide| Ka Leo, University of Hawaii at Manoa
I love the line illustration — and using a desk is a good way to focus on upcoming careers. Since the desk part is so simple, it doesn’t conflict with the busier background.
