Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Not only are there beautiful photos of this project to entice readers to spend time with this story, but our art director does what she does best by creating a beautiful layout, tastefully using musical notes throughout the pages to pay homage to the story's theme. She chose colors that complement the colors of the building's interiors to create bold captions that really draw the readers eye into the story. Her sidebars, also, are bold and consist of colors that draw the reader into the story. In addition, readers are invited to download a free app (in each issue's editor's note) allowing them to hover over the icon on the final page of this story with a smartphone or tablet. They then can view a video about the project. By placing the icon on the final page of this story, next to a bold sidebar and the musical note design treatment, this article received among the highest views for interactive content.
