Nov. 7th Yes We Can design front pages that surprise
It helps that we now have a president-elect with a million dollar smile, movie star looks, and a family that can make the cover of any magazine or the front page of any newspaper simply glow. But, beyond that, as we checked www.newseum.com, we were pleasantly surprised to see the variety of interesting and very visual solutions that editors and designrs found to tell readers the story of the most historic U.S. Presidential Election ever .
We like the “portrait” treatments (Detroit Free Press, Red Eye, USA) the mega photo displays (O Povo, Brazil), and the creativity with type (DeMorgen, Belgium, Gulf News, Dubai, and Tahoe Daily Tribune, USA).

Still in the Canary Islands until tomorrow; Sunday arriving home in Tampa, Florida.
