Lucie Lacava picked to redesign Sunday Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dee Dee D’Asaro of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has announced:
Wonderful news!
We are near the end of negotiations, and it looks like Lucie Lacava of Lacava Design Inc. will most likely be helping us redesign the Sunday newspaper.
Lucie is known for her elegant use of typography and architecture. Her portfolio includes over 60 projects, and the largest paper she’s worked on is the Chicago Tribune. She was instrumental in designing/launching the National Post in Canada six years ago amid a highly competitive national market. More recently she redesigned the Baltimore Sun and the Telegraph-Journal, and is finishing up a redesign of La Libre Belgique in Brussels.
She is the originator of the much copied “hot L” concept for teases. I remember being inspired years ago by her use of spot color in her first major redesign: Le Devoir in Montreal. Three of her projects have been voted among the “World’s Best Designed” by the Society of News Design for a grand total of 10 times.
Lucie will be visiting Atlanta next week to finalize details. We are setting up an open meeting for all interested visual folks to meet her, see her presentation and ask questions. I’ll send another note with time/location when we know more. You can check out her website at lacavadesign.ca
The SND Region 3 blogger — The AJC’s Melissa Angle — reports Lucie met with the AJC staff today.
