Le Graphique de Lance*

3:45 PM, June 28, 2005

A couple of readers (including Frank Steele of the fine TdFBlog.com, which you should read if you're interested in the Tour de France) have requested a look at the doubletruck graphic on Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France produced by my Oregonian colleagues and published in today's paper. So, voila! For a (2.8MB) pdf, click here. The graphic and design was done by Michael Mode and Steve Cowden, the text is by Bonnie DeSimone and James Yu.

Update: In the comments, Ryan Ford points out this St. Pete Times doubletruck by Jeremy Gilbert as well.

Update 2: Gilbert has pdfs of the Times graphic at his site. A small one (1MB) here, a big one (6MB) here.

Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

Really nice ... excellent example of how to design a doubletruck graphic.

Aargh! Awesome work. But between you and the St. Pete Times (http://www.newspagedesigner.com/users/159/LanceTourDbl.jpg), y'all are ruining any chance I have to do an original TDF doubletruck tomorrow. Not to mention any ability I have to feel good about my abilities.
