This was my first chunk approach, or Alternative Story Format, for a front page. I collected the info from the AP story and trolled AP Exchange and the Internet for the Who They Are box (we hadn't ID'd them in print yet), and that seemed to be good info for our readers. Running oversized mugs of the key players came about because the initial plan for art didn't work as expected. I particularly like the cutout of Jay Cutler with the Bears story at bottom; gives it a bit of pinache. The presentation was selected as GateHouse News Service's Page of the Day (Rockford Register Star, Tuesday, 22 Nov 11).
