Nick Masuda to the Orlando Sentinel

This is a little old to be considered "news" ... but better late than never!

The memo from Bonita Burton, AME/visuals at the Orlando Sentinel:

I'm pleased to announce that Nick Masuda will join the Sentinel as a senior designer on Sept. 28.

Nick is a highly decorated visual editor who has spent the last year and a half overseeing the design, graphics, photo and Web operations in Lewiston, Maine, in addition to their sports coverage. Before that, he was a sports and news designer at the San Jose Mercury News and deputy sports editor at the Santa Barbara News-Press.

Some of Nick's work:


In related news, Alan Jacobson posts over at BestFrontDesign.com:
Recently, I have been unable to complete my daily posts because of other overwhelming business demands. As a result, it has become impossible to critique pages with the frequency I began and that you had grown accustomed to. But there is a silver lining. During the course of BFD there has been one voice that seemed to show the reason and logic necessary to not only produce fine design, but to explain through his comments, the "why" that will let others learn how to make their pages better. His name is Nick Masuda. Nick will be taking the lead on BFD sometime in October after he completes his move from Maine to Florida.

Congrats, Nick, on the move to Florida and the new BFD gig!

Welcome to region 3!
