Gazette. What I can take credit for here is the typography and the photo illustration. The native art for this story was the geeky guy wearing VR gear from the company selling it. That was it. Thankfully, my employer had a subscription to a stock photo/image service. So it was pretty cool to meld the VR guy with the stock illustration. Also, I love stretching type. Also, credit due to istockphoto.
Addendum to this post on 09122018; I like the art, but upon further review, the layout needs more work. That sidebar did not need such prominence, but story placement is an ongoing issue in a world where the print product is shrinking. So, my insecurities as a designer, coupled with the section editor's (imposed from above) priorities for front page story count equal .... erm ... something that could have been better. Anyway, I still like the photo illustration. If I had a do-over, the sidebar would vanish, the headline would be centered and there would be nice white space around the type of that centerpiece package. It would be a much more interesting cover.
