Kyrie Irving, Rookie of the Year
Sports, May 15, 2012
Emmet Smith, designer
Cavs have their Rookie of the Year, and we have our MVP in Emmet Smith. He used mostly staff photography, but the cover photo is by Todd Rosenberg, Sports Illustrated via Getty, as we typically don’t get studio time to spend with Cleveland sports figures. The choice resonated enough to compel one reader to write:
A Sports Section with its front page loaded with class — that is what I see in today’s Plain Dealer. As I walked into the kitchen this morning, my husband was reading the paper as usual, the front page of the sports section was set at a diagonal and I could sort of see it from the kitchen counter. From where I was, the photo of Irving looked like a classic sculpture! The closer I got to it, I realized it was a photo of Irving.
The entire article layout is set up in fine classical form — inspired by Irving. I love it … yes, Irving, is a class-type man … what a breath of fresh air!

Mixed emotions about this annual project. It’s so darn fun to do something cool like this every year, but we’d like the team to get good enough that we don’t have to!
