THE REMARKER
ST. MARK’S SCHOOL, (DALLAS, TEXAS)

ebruary 8, 2013: The ReMarker uses outstanding photography and white space
to showcase its sports section. The sports cover in its Feb. 8 issue demonstrates
not only a clean design, but detailed photo use. Complementing the story, “The High
Flyer,” is an effective teaser on top and the feature, “Overtime,” that runs down the left
hand rail.
Did you notice? The upper right spot is reserved for the mailing label. Adviser Ray
Westbrook says the school back folds the paper so the front page design can be free
of U.S. Postal Service requirements.
A look behind the scene: According to Sam Khoshbin, last year’s sports editor, “The
idea for our player profile on Kendrick Spraglin [the player pictured] came from one
simple fact: he can dunk. This opened up my mind to many visual ideas, especially
after reading through so many ESPN and Sports Illustrated magazines. The one
visual idea I thought would go especially well with the complete dunk was a stopmotion picture progression. Since the stop-motion was inherently horizontal, we used
another photo of Kendrick with his eyes on the prize to fill the vertical space.” The
photographer was Michael Doorey.

ebruary 2013: Effective packaging can easily be done without a lot of whistles and
bells. The headline and photo illustration are a great example of cohesiveness. The
unique angle of the photo draws the reader’s eye into the page. The page boosts a
nice combination of a banner headline, deck and photo so the reader immediately
knows what the coverage is about. The three-photo spread below the fold makes nice
use of photos and serves as a unique way to highlight one of the school’s stronger
shooting basketball players.
Did you notice? The Torch incorporates part of a page’s photo into the sports
nameplate. It’s subtle, but effective.
