USA TODAY NETWORK Quarterly Awards / Best Multi-Page Design (Winner)

Recognized by USA TODAY NETWORK as one of the designers of the Detroit Free Press's coverage of Aretha Franklin's death. Entry was awarded Best Multi-Page Design winner from 2018 Q3. (Other designers: Jen Herrmann, Josh Ulrich, Branden Barker)

WHAT THE JUDGES SAID: The Aretha round-up featured an excellent mix of archival and live photos; great coordinated editing and use of visuals throughout. The design managed to capture a strong sense of the community mourning their Queen. And the staff totally delivered, day after day, angle after angle, during a multi-day "final tour." The double truck wrap was well-used and delivered an emotional sense of Aretha's funeral parade. Impressive, beautiful coverage of a legend.
