Photos by David Sorcher. </span><br /></div><br />The cover of this issue of CiN really posed a problem: We had 10 people, all of whom were photographed seperately, and my editor wanted all 10 on the cover. I wish I could say I had spent several days trying different layouts for the cover, but I can't. With furloughs and vacations and the constant game of catch-up that we all play, I couldn't find the time to devote to cover planning. Mondays are deadline days, and I spent the Monday morning – and afternoon – doing various iternations of the cover. Nothing was working. I was stuck on a design that incorporated the photos in little circles or bubbles, and was vaguely trying to make something that looked like a molecule. And it wasn't working. After about four hours, I scrapped everything, and did what I should have done in the first place, which was tie in the cover design to the cover story design. It was a Homer "D'oh!" moment.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5717303248316318363-7984001527944484527?l=necessarydesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03795807892570137546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717303248316318363.post-281521998506508242009-03-17T13:15:00.000-07:002009-03-17T13:16:47.216-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/ScAFGV2AfxI/AAAAAAAAAo8/F-4OqjllalQ/s1600-h/CN20090318A1CN.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I had a blast making the coffee marks. Too bad I used up the gimmick. I could have used it for the second coffee issue I have to do.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5717303248316318363-7357770185474783293?l=necessarydesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03795807892570137546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717303248316318363.post-92018802547815980442009-01-29T07:37:00.000-08:002009-01-29T07:41:02.309-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNptmu2rI/AAAAAAAAAlU/ZfJk3BjW7Es/s1600-h/CN20090107A20-.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 171px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNptmu2rI/AAAAAAAAAlU/ZfJk3BjW7Es/s320/CN20090107A20-.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296740753264794290" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNpkEgq0I/AAAAAAAAAlM/p5QixZfOZGs/s1600-h/CN20090107A20-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 171px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNpkEgq0I/AAAAAAAAAlM/p5QixZfOZGs/s320/CN20090107A20-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296740750705339202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNpeSUEDI/AAAAAAAAAlE/qid-47pCMcA/s1600-h/CN20090107A20-3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 171px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNpeSUEDI/AAAAAAAAAlE/qid-47pCMcA/s320/CN20090107A20-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296740749152620594" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNpUKdFRI/AAAAAAAAAk8/IRsjKENgxLE/s1600-h/CN20090107A20-4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HyVPMpMATCA/SYHNpUKdFRI/AAAAAAAAAk8/IRsjKENgxLE/s320/CN20090107A20-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296740746435302674" border="0" /></a>The CiN Weekly Jan. 7, 2009 cover story. where local chefs offered up cheap recipes.
