It's customary to run a "Welcome" or "Welcome Week" banner across the front page during the first week of school. I didn't have a good picture yet, so I sent out the photographer on deadline to get a shot of someone who was moving in. The other thing I'm proud of is the package on the right side of the page.
I chose to run a teaser skybox across the bottom because there was only one story on the front, and I wanted to give readers a glimpse at what was inside without cumbersome graphics or pictures.
