But unfortunately, I'm Michael Ginsberg, not Michelangelo.
I begin by doing the same bloody layout I've done for the last three years--dominant picture in the upper right, one big lead story at the top, two stories side-by-side in the middle separated by a picture, and maybe a couple of stories at the bottom.
Booor-ing!
So I go back to the drawing board, and I listen for the sound of the muse.
She speaks.
"Booor-ing!"
So I move pictures and shift some stories. I put the dominant picture in the middle of the lead story. Start one story in the middle, but put a picture next to it rather than another story.
Now we're cookin.'
I throw in a prediction box. I stick another big picture at the bottom.
Voila!--"Le Page du Ginz."
Meanwhile, I've still got to choose and scan some pictures for the page.
We take negatives and scan them directly into the computer, so I look at the negatives.
I hold the negatives to the light. More staring.
Finally, I see the perfect photo! Action, movement, a key player on the team! I'm golden!
