Paul Wallen, Design Director of The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, announced this evening:

I’m very excited to announce that Tim Ball will be joining our team as Sports Design Director!

Many of you met Tim during his visit here last month. For those of you less familiar with Tim, he brings one of the best sports nicknames in the business – TBall.

Tim has proven himself as one of the best design leaders in the country through his work at The San Jose Mercury News, Indianapolis Star and Wisconsin State Journal. He’s an outstanding conceptual thinker and photo editor who has been a multiple award winner from the Society for News Design, National Press Photographers Association and others. Tim has an exceptional ability to look at content from all angles and find the best way to present it to readers. I think he’s going to help us elevate what we do on a daily basis.

You can check out examples of his work here.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to add Tim to an already outstanding sports team at the Sun-Sentinel.

We are still working out the details of Tim’s arrival, when he’ll begin work, etc.

A start date has not yet been set.

A few samples of Tim’s fabulous sports design work:

Congratulations to TBall, Paul, Tim Frank and the fine folks at the Sun-Sentinel.
