The week after General conference is an incredibly busy time for the staff of the Church and myself. We are tasked with producing a 24 page version of LDS Church News, covering all talks given by General Authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
A little vacation from all the text
Most of the pages are quite templated, having only a single mug, and maybe an additional photo. As you can imagine this becomes very boring and monotonous. Therefore putting together what you see above is refreshing. It represents a pleasant break from the text heaviness of the publication.
Love the children
Another aspect of this I find enjoyable is incorporating children into the layout. As you can see I enjoy putting any photos of children front and center.
First man to speak in his native language
One other unique item to this layout is the inclusion of the first Authority to speak in his native language over the pulpit. Yes, this will just be a blip in the grand scheme of historical things. But I am a part of documenting that one blip. I find that hugely satisfying. Here is a link to an article in the Deseret News if you are interested in knowing more about the first man to speak at conference in a foreign language.
The process
I used Photoshop to produce the cutouts. I placed these along with other photos into a layout in InDesign. The Headline logo I produced in Illustrator.
