Judge’s edited issue: Vol. 76 • Issue No. 3

Positive comments:

• Visually pleasing – great packages
• Effective centerspreads
• Good variety of coverage, content
• Face off – good column, both written and visual
• Great artwork, cutouts
• Nice news briefs down side of Page 1 – headlines need to be a little smaller
• Good teaser boxes across bottom of Page 1
• Nice variation in headline style, weight, type (especially liked “Waiving goody-bye”)
• Nice to see few “I's in columns on editorial page
• Strong features

Constructive criticism comments:

• Busy pages - example Page 7. Maybe take off some screens in calendar; Page 8 – Just Jim almost fades into advertising background. Open up pages and let them breathe
• Photo quality - blurred

• Ad placement – see Page 6 as an example. You have 2 ads in middle of page – ads should go at the bottom.
