I read Theresa's blog and she had her feature spread up for this week's Vox. I thought it was creatively done. I really liked her play on the headline with the bottles. The color photo was really cool looking as well. The pullquotes were used nicely I thought on pages 3 and four and I liked how she used the two column grid and fit the sidebar overlapping the column and leaving white space to the outside of the page. It sounds like her photo edit was well thought threw and she came up with a solid solution. My only suggestion would maybe to have tried bringin the pages together more with something consistent. Both pull quotes were on the second spread, and with the art in the headline on the first page the pages looked different. I think a lot of it was the color on the first spread and black/white on the second page, but maybe an art element around the infobox would have given a more consistent look. But hey, Theresa is a great designer and she did very well. I read her part on her being concerned about competing against graphic designers and artists and she should stop being so crazy. She is smarter than them for going through are esteemed program! She will be lighting up eyes this week with her design.
