But tonight it’s time to recharge, watch the game, raise a little money for the SND Foundation and push for the final assault tomorrow morning.

Here come the sports caricatures
It would not be the Sunday of the “big game” without the arrival of a collection of sports figure caricatures. Sure, none of those illustrated are actually in this year’s game. But that’s beside the point…
TREND WATCH: Illustrating with type
When entries are placed end to end on any one of the 220 tables, it’s easy to spot design trends from papers near and far. One trend is the use of type to illustrate stories with little to now reliance upon photography. The pages here were being judged at the time they were photographed. If […]

ON YOUR FEET: It’s all about comfort
Before judges and facilitators convened in Syracuse for SND32 judging, all were told — warned, really — to wear comfortable shoes. Here’s a collection of footwear worn by nearly all I could convince to stand still for a moment. Some shoes certainly looked comfortable, while others not so much. See if you can tell who’s […]
