Critique: Vignettes feature!

Last night I had a nightmare about my feature design. I dreamt that when I picked up the final copy of Vox on Thursday that my feature that I've been putting so many hours into was completely blue. Does this mean I've been spending too much time in Vox lately?! Perhaps.

I spent six long hours at Vox on Sunday to finish up my feature, but mainly to design my department page. For this week's scene page is a "feature" on DGB, Mizzou's biggest and baddest new football recruit. It wasn't treated as a normal department page; we were going for an "Esquire cover" look. I'm really excited about how it turned out, not only because it'll be a great clip but it ads something new and different to this issue of Vox! I don't have a PDF of it yet since it hasn't come out yet, but I'll be sure to add it to next week's blog post.

Now for the feature presentation... :)

I don't have the final version of what will be going to print tomorrow, so you'll just have to pick one up tomorrow! But I do have the most current version. My first and second draft were just black and white, and I wanted to have some kind of color to it to make it more eye-catching and have the stories stand out from each other but still have some sort of cohesiveness to them.

I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and I think all my hard work paid off. Very excited to see the final draft tomorrow!
