The Daily Iowan

Front page of The Daily Iowan with a full-width above-the-fold photo of Andre Wright and Jason Sole. Both are wearing 
                            white hoodies with black block text that reads, 'HUMANIZE MY HOODIE.' The photo background fades to white with Andre and 
                            Jason standing on a pile of rubble, their heads slightly covering the 'Amplify' section nameplate at the top of the page. 
                            The story title is below the photo, with the last word, 'Hoodie,' in green and all caps, overlapping the photo. The page includes 
                            a secondary photo of Andre and Jason and a calendar of virtual community events on campus. Front page of The Daily Iowan's Arts & Culture section, 80 Hours. A graphic takes up nearly the full page, 
                            with the story starting below the graphic's torn bottom edge on the lower third of the page. The background is a dirt 
                            road with a shadow of a figure cast in the upper left corner. Across the middle of the page is the silouhette of an ax, 
                            in which an image of the Villisca Ax Murder House has been overlayed. The sign for the house is prominently displayed. 
                            The title of the story and the '80 Hours' nameplate are set in a scratchy, pointy font.
Front page of The Daily Iowan with a full-width above-the-fold graphic on COVID vaccine rollout. The graphic is seperated 
                            from the story with a red background ending in a diagonal slash through the middle of the page. A grey circle and thick, curved red 
                            line on the red background radiate out from a microscopic image of the COVID-19 virus. Another thick red line in the shape of a half circle 
                            seperates the image of the virus from an image of a bottle of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. The image of the vaccine is shaped like a circle 
                            with a point coming off the bottom right corner, embedding it into the story text. The secondary story below the fold has the 
                            Ethics & Politics banner and an image of Joni Ernst on a computer screen during a zoom call. To the left of the secondary story 
                            is a half-rail detailing some of the inside stories with the DITV logo. To the right of the secondary story is a third story about 
                            vaccines and increasing travel interest. Front page of The Daily Iowan's Arts & Culture section, 80 Hours. A graphic takes up nearly the full page. The background is 
                            a purple brick wall with pink grungy textures and neon text showing the 80 Hours header and the title of the story, 'A Revival on Wheels.' The subtitle is 'Roller Skating'.
                            In the foreground are two isolated skaters lit in pinkish-purplish light.
Graphic of a person with glasses and light brown hair in a yellow shirt sitting with their hand under their chin and a concerned expression. 
                            On the left side, there's a chalk board behind them, and on the right side there's a computer screen in front of them. Graphic of a wallet with a credit and debit card in the card slots and bills sticking out vertically like a bar graph. The bills indicate Johnson County Recommended
                            wages from 2015 to March of 2021. They start at $8.20 and increase to $10.75
Front page of The Daily Iowan's Arts & Culture section, 80 Hours. It's a full page graphic made to look like the packaging of Ben & Jerry's 
                            ice cream, with a blue sky, white fluffy clouds, and rolling green hills. In the foreground is a three-scoop neopolitan cone with blue headphones 
                            on the chocolate scoop. The headline of the story in a similar font to Ben & Jerry's and reads 'not your average scoop' with the first e in 'average' 
                            facing backwards. Front page of The Daily Iowan with an above-the-fold graphic for a story titled 'Celebrating Black history.' The graphic is a digital collage 
                            of Duke Slater, Carl Cain, Phillip Hubbard, and Elizabeth Catlett. Behind them are strips of paper in green, red, and yellow with bits of kente cloth. The graphic 
                            appears to be taped down to the front page with yellow tape. The rail on the left has teases for the inside stories. The secondary story is about Iowa reacting to 
                            immigration reform, and the third story is about a spike in cancelled housing contracts.
Front page of The Daily Iowan's sports section with a full-width above-the-fold graphic about the University's only national championship gymnastics 
                            team from 1969. The title is 'Lone Champions' with yellow arrows framing it on the left. The main graphic is a collage of images inlaid with yellow arrows pointing 
                            to the right. Below the fold is the rail with sports updates, the secondary story about tennis, and the third story which is a debate about the football draft. Front page of The Daily Iowan's Arts & Culture section, 80 Hours. The story is titled, 'From the page to the screen' in a fancy blackletter font. The graphic is an 
                            open book with a chess board on the pages. The bottom row of the board on the right page turns into a strip of film and loops off the page where it connects to a film reel. 
                            Chess pieces are also falling off the pages. The story begins about two thirds of the way down the page and is bordered by the loopy film tape.
