Lose The Cul-de-sac And Other Suburban Lessons is an editorial project by The Cincinnati Enquirer that takes a look at seven ways to urbanize the 'burbs. 

 

The cover design is a composite of a couple of images tied together with a simple tilt-shift effect that married the two scale references together. 

 

The cover design was an Award of Excellence winner at the 2015 Society for News Design competition.
