Is it just me that noticed the typos in the top headline of the sixth column on the 'welly on a stick' page? Doesn't look like there's any spacing preceding either of the left single quotes, and I'm pretty sure that should say 'Lumpers', not ' umpers'. Also, the main head feels too tight to the caption line & image, esp. compared to the '41.5' page.
Just seems a little bit sloppy, is all, though I suppose it's to be expected once you let your design loose in a busy newsroom. (I'm assuming these are real-world examples, not mockups.) Still, wouldn't have picked that particular page as part of the redesign portfolio showcase.
