Graphics
I started as an interactive designer. After a few reorganizations in the newsroom, I became an editorial designer and producer primarily for print. I have created several hundred layouts during my years at AP Business. Because print space is so limited, I developed the crucial skill of judging which information is most important.
Sometimes, the opposite issue arises: we have a page to fill, but no reporter has written a story. In these "emergencies," I use an approach my team calls the “Tiffany Model.” It’s named after the first story where I used data visualization and a single image to tell a complete narrative without a traditional article.
