When I came into work the night before this ran, Kevin Uhrmacher (the Design & Graphics editor) told me that this graphic needed to completed for front pack. He and management had decided on the idea, and Kevin had started pulling photos as references. I completed the graphic, and staffer Meredith Burns helped trace some of the books. Then, Kevin and I tweaked the page layout and graphic to achieve the effect we wanted. The entire process took about 2 hours.
