Special Feature Page Layouts

Back-to-Iraq

A special feature by Messenger Editor Brian Knox and photographed by Joe Duty about a local Marine returning to duty.

Capitol-Moment-Austin

Messenger photographer Joe Duty always makes it out to Wise County Legislative Days in Austin. Here, I feel my typography perfectly compliments his eloquent shot.

Coop-in-the-Loop

A special feature on Clint Cooper, a local rodeo star who made it all the way to the National Finals Rodeo. Here, Messenger photographer Joe Duty truly got behind the scenes on his trip.

Time-for-Paybacks

A special feature by Messenger writer Brandon Evans about unclaimed government money. Photo illustration by Joe Duty.

What-Goes-Around

Another excellent feature by Messenger writer Brandon Evans about recycling. We decided on this layout to downplay photographer Joe Duty’s photos and make the emphasis the “recycle” logo incorporated into the headline.

Wife-Swap

Our take on ABC’s “Wife Swap,” where in one particular episode, a housewife from Las Vegas switched places with a local woman from Sunset, Texas.

Losing-Battle

For two years, the Wise County Messenger chronicled Sports Editor Robert Morgan’s battle with weight. Here, Joe Duty photographed Robert after two years and 300+ pounds later.

Mothers-Love

Yet another Mother’s Day feature. My attempt to simulate a Hallmark card as closely as possible.

Struggle-Within

A special feature by Messenger writer Travis Measley about a woman inflicted with several diseases. Photographed by Joe Duty, the compliment of the starck photo and typography set the page off.
