A few recent Business section covers. Housing and Apple ones were one-day turnarounds. Good stuff.
Cover from 2012 NBA preview. Illustration by Robert Carter. We were going for an “Entourage” vibe, and Robert nailed it.
Covers from our two latest e-book offerings, which should be available soon for iPad, Kindle and Nook.
A sampling of covers from our coverage of the London 2012 Summer Olympics. We’re exhausted.
Our six (!) preview covers for the London 2012 Summer Games. Photos by L.A. Times portrait master Jay L. Clendenin.
We did this for the Beijing 2008 Summer Games as well, but it never gets old.
See post below for more great work by Jay that we published, and go here to read more about it.
London 2012: Let the Games begin, right?
I had the pleasure of working with L.A. Times photographer Jay L. Clendenin’s beautiful portraits for our special section preview. Above is a the gallery/spread we ran inside the section, which Jay shot using a 4-by-5-inch field camera and a 100-plus-year-old Petzval lens. Each black-and-white portrait was exposed onto black-and-white photographic paper, processed in a darkroom and scanned into a computer.
Check out the back story on our Framework blog (including a really cool video where Jay shoots a shotgun):
Earlier this year, I took a class at the Pasadena Art Center College for Design about Adobe’s Digital Publishing suite. For my project, I used content from a 12-part series we ran in the Travel section of the Los Angeles Times.
That class project grew into the real deal: An iPad app with 12 downloadable issues featuring video, photo galleries, panoramas and all kinds of interactivity.
An update to the ever-expanding Los Angeles Times ebook library. SoCal Close-Ups is a guide to destinations in the Southland, from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to the beaches of Orange County. There are 12 chapters in the book, and each one has micro-itineraries for distinct neighborhoods.
Available for iPad, Kindle and Nook.
We’re also about to launch an App version with 12 issues to download, and those will include video, photo galleries and more.
