AthenScape Covers

As I’ve previously mentioned, I was the Photo Editor this summer at The Red & Black. Two of my final projects were just unveiled to the public yesterday and I am now able to post them here.

I am going to have everyone who wants to see them click the more button below just so that it doesn’t take forever for this page to load.

This is the Section A cover for AthenScape:

The theme was 12 Hours in Downtown Athens. I had my staff sign up for shifts from 10 pm to 10 am and document whatever they could find going on. You can click here for a full size version or here for a slide show of all the photos that were printed including ones on the inside.

This is the Section B cover for AthenScape:

This was a collaborative project between myself and Summer Opinions Editor/Editorial Cartoonist Bill Richards. Last year Bill drew a full page overview of North Campus and Downtown, and so I mentioned it would be cool for him to draw his caricatures on top of a real place on campus.

We batted the idea around a bit until we achieved this as a final result. Bill drew in a few people we knew including my roommate at the time who had made a cameo in last years as well and a mutual friend of ours that had gone on a study abroad with Bill last year when he went to Oxford.

My absolute favorite part of it is Mike Adams, the President of UGA, riding the shoulders of Tom Jackson down the stairs.

  1. I’m digging the sports and variety cover. Kudos to you and Bill on that one. I still haven’t found Waldo…
