I love it with big stories take up the front page. That's what happened on the front of Teh Repository today with its story by Tim Botos on a local company's plans to stay local and expand its headquarters.
A series of maps and renderings are pieced together to nicely show readers what's to come. The map at lower left looks as if it could have been taken from a screen grab of a Google map of the area, which is a great, easy way to give readers an aerial perspective of a story such as this. A credit certainly would help.
That same map outlines the footprint of the company's property. The brownish shades are a bit obtrusive, but show readers the areas of detail
Lots of great information in a well-designed package.
Nice page.
