Daily Herald news editor Neil Holdway writes:

As part of our ongoing coverage of LeBron James‘ possible move to the Chicago Bulls, we put basic and fun facts about James on our front page, including an actual-size image of his shoe.

The design work was done by our news/art graphics editor, Tim Broderick.

…with a photoillustrating assist from intern Kelly Mantz of Illinois State University.

    They keep shrinking the size of the page, and pretty soon you won’t be able to do something like this life-size…

    Nice job by my former paper. I wonder if newsstand sales increased with this dramatic presentation.
