"You Can't miss"
Alright, I know this is reserved more for magazines and websites, but I saw that Andrea did it so I want to talk about newspapers, too. In fact I want to discuss our very own newspaper- that's right the renouned Missourian. I want to discuss what exactly happened with the headline fonts and the feature heds. I guess they wanted a new jazzy look, but I have to question the new feature heds, especially. I worked with sports last semester and it is the section I read the most, and we used feature heds to categorize our topics, whether it be Missouri basketball, or NFL, etc. I do not remember the old font, but it was a seriff font in which we used big and small capps. I liked the contrast it provided with the sans serif franklin gothic headlines. Now they are also sans seriff and they look like they take away from the headlines and I know that is not what they want. I guess this is the modernism coming out in me, but I like things the way they were and I don't think the change was for the better. Check them out soon, and I'll try and post a page from last semester so you can see what I am talking about. I am still trying to figure this posting pictures thing out so work with me here....
