Pages from The Guardian and Federer's title

Roger Federer's 2009 Wimbledon championship was historic - his 15th Grand Slam title, most ever. Here's how England's The Guardian covered it in Monday's print edition.

If you are unfamiliar with The Guardian, it's a design rock in newspapers. Consistent with its gridded layouts; a controlled use of a color scheme for each section; and within the user-friendly Berliner size.

Heckling in Seattle

Oftentimes, it's the fun stories that are most memorable. I wanted to share some work from this Sunday's Seattle Times. NFL reporter Danny O'Neil wrote about heckling - a nice offbeat, summer feature.

The Post's online hub for the golf tournament is particularly well done, with very little vertical scroll and a clean design. There's a leaderboard box on the right, a centerpiece story with a photo and a multimedia carousel below. Dominant photo gallery links sit in the stories and there are Twitter updates, etc. Top notch.
