new york times boot camp


today in type we did a little something ellen likes to call "the new york times bootcamp." the idea is that we come into class, and she gets a call at 10 am from some one at the new york times who tells us the topic of tomorrow's op-ed article. and then we design a black and white image to accompany the piece. by 2 pm. things were a little less stressfull this time around, ellen actually found out last night that we would be illustrating for letters readers sent in responding to an editorial about genetically altered animals. ("Coming to a Plate Near You.") it was really quite fun to work on something with other people around, and with a real world deadline. check out the class flickr to see what everyone else came up with. ellen should know tonight what design has been selected for print!
