10 favorite layouts
These are my top 10 designs and layouts I created as the photo editor of the Daily Barometer. All were created with InDesign and Photoshop.
1st place design at ONPA awards. Was so much fun to create, but hard to come up with clever descriptions. Finished product looked great though.
Going for ominous, calm, and peculiar.
Preview to Civil War. Awesome little design I did previewing the players. Markie helped a lot with this one though.
One of my last designs. My favorite format: large picture at top, big headline, almost magazine style, beautifully posed subject, and great background.
Great layout of candidates for ASOSU and MUPC. Thanks Katy for the photos.
Markie, the late night production coordinator, loved this design. I was happy.
A photo-illustration I created which won a 2nd place ONPA Design award.
I was lucky enough to be first on the "O" guy story. Soon after my article published, KVAL ran a story on him. Call me "scoop."
Very New York Times in terms of layout. There's a reason why they are good. This layout works. This is also one of my favorite photos I took.
Under intense deadline pressure, and with last minute artworks coming into the office, I threw this together for the Diversions cover. It's not perfect, but my Editor in Chief loved it, and that's what matters.

"Mother of All Relays" Slideshow!
A photo essay of Portland’s 29th annual Hood to Coast Relay.
Photos by Jeffrey Basinger
Deemed the longest relay in the world, Portland’s 29th annual Hood to Coast spans 197 miles, beginning near the top of Mount Hood, and ending on a sandy beach in Seaside, Oregon. The event sponsored by OfficeMax has brought teams of runners from each US state, and from over twenty foreign countries.
How does it work? Teams of twelve divide up 36 legs of the race and hand off the baton (a slap wrist band) at specified exchange points. While one teammate runs the race, the others ride ahead in a rented van, often decorated with team names, slogans, and a record of how many “road kills,” (the name for overtaking an opposing teams’ runner), each member has tallied.
There’s a lot of humor and camaraderie involved. Teams come up with witty names like “Strangers in a Strange Van”, “Sole Survivors” or “Cirque du Sore Legs.”
The teams form a strong bond, working together to get the baton from point A to point B, sticking together The average team takes 28 hours to complete the race.
This year, team “BAC Men” came in first with a time of 17:24:16, almost an hour faster than second place team, “Knoxville Track Club.” In 7th place, team “Google” barely beat out 8th place team, “The Olympic Club.”
Over 29 years, the Hood to Coast Relay has grown from a small eight-team competition founded by Architect Robert Foote, Jr., to a massive, world-renowned relay that requires 3,500 volunteers to make the race possible. The race has gained so much popularity that a documentary on the event titled "Hood to Coast" has recently been featured at film festivals, and will premiere in theatres across the country in January 11, 2011.

And thus begins my work at the Portland Tribune.
Day one was a major flop. I got settled quickly and anxiously waited for an assignment to shoot (or at least shadow), and after a long day of no shows and not-enough-time-to-make-it-to-the-actual-event assignments, I went to sleep unfulfilled and with the beginnings of disheartendom.
Here's what I was able to shoot over the next few days for the PT:
Press Conference about the search for a young boy named Kyron who has recently gone missing (a week before I arrived in Portland).
A vigil for Kyron.
A graduation ceremony for the students at Westview High School.
And a Press Conference at Jefferson High School, where public figures discussed the recent developments in the decisions to close various schools (possibly Jefferson). I don't know much about this situation yet, having just moved here, but it looks like it might be interesting to follow.
