The cover of a Hillsboro Argus special section really gives the reader a sense of what’s inside. You can attribute that to graphic designer Jenny Wacker, who not only designs the covers but selects many of the stories inside. She turns to Metro for both, and in particular employs BonusIdeas regularly for inspiration. “I really enjoy looking at the ideas,” she says, “seeing how I can work the BonusIdeas into my work.” Wacker appreciates being able to adapt a tab size BonusIdea into a full-size cover. Those ideas, she says, “allow me to see something that I could adapt into a larger page.” That kind of versatility lets Wacker create smart section covers that let the section art do the talking.

Designers and artists all have their favorite medium. “I like things with real photos,” says graphic designer Kelly Kobs. That’s why she often turns to BonusIdeas for inspiration. "If you don't have anything it's pretty helpful stuff."
