I can't for the life of me figure out why the image keeps getting squished when I upload it. That's not how it looks, obviously, but I really like how this invitation turned out for Lutheran Family Services of Omaha and still wanted to include it.
I usually would put an infobox in the middle of two stories to break up the text, but I think it this case it made sense to have them side by side.
Sioux Falls had four staffers write about their predictions for the Vikings' 2013 season. Instead of starting one or all of them on the cover, we went with a standalone/refer-type treatment. They just told me to do a cutout or something of Adrian…
