This editorial design was completed for the 2008 Society of Publication Designers’ Competition. The requirements involved selecting an actor/director as the subject of a
two spread editorial using the word upclose with the subject’s name as the headline.

After researching Nicholson, I decided to create a centerfold opening spread as a tribute to
his ladies' man persona. The following spread contains a secondary image, body copy and pull quote. The headline is Jack Nicholson’s autograph and was applied after printing using gold ink. The drop cap on the following spread is created using the same effect.
