“I actually used to read the New York Times before making this. Unfortunately, I read it digitally and was really not excited to create a digital collage, so I asked my friend for a copy. I read through it, and realized that the front cover page is very much a road map to most of what you’ll find in that edition of the Times.
I then used the cover along with the section headers After creating the collage, I decided it might read more like a map if I put it in the context of a phone navigation app, so I recreated the frame which I feel like I could have done more efficiently. As a graphic design student, I’ve worked on a few layout teams for varying newspapers, and I usually get distracted looking at the layout and type when I read a print copy.
If I were to do this again, I think I’d play more with layout and type and the ways it is used in the New York Times.”
