Spring Sports Guide 07

The Winter Sports Guide is upon me, and so I thought it would be appropriate to look back on the Spring Sports Guide. The Spring Sports Guide was actually the second sports guide I was involved in, the first being last winters, although I don't really count last winters as 1) I had just started working and so didn't even know it was happening until the night Seth was doing it, and 2) all I contributed to it was some awful drop shadowing.
The Spring Sports guide 2007 was one of the first things I did at the paper that I was really proud of. I'd been here for about 5 months at the time, and really got the opportunity to stretch my wings creatively and put to use some things I had taught myself. Seth (our sports editor) being on his own for the guide meant that I ended up with a larger hand in it, and together we came up with some really fun things. The Spring Sports Guide ran as a part of the broadsheet for the last time (it now runs as a tabloid sized insert). Following the jump, the cover of the Spring Guide, which ran in late March 2007.



The cover was put together using Quark, although I tried a few different things with varying degrees of success before that. All of the photographs are by Jared Gruenwald and Krystle Marcellus.
