We’ll put it this way: News isn’t exactly your typical 9-5 job.
While many of our editors on the east coast are working (safely) from home today, a select group of editors braved Hurricane Sandy’s wrath to bring you the news — including TIME’s managing editor, Rick Stengel, who is pictured above working from our New York office this afternoon.
For those in Sandy’s path, on behalf of TIME, we hope you’re all safe and prepared for the storm. Check back for the latest updates on Hurricane Sandy here.
Have you visited TIME.com this morning?
As of today, we have a new look — making TIME the first global news site to roll out a fully responsive redesign optimized for mobile and tablet.
You can read more about the redesign here.
For our Oct. 15 cover story, “The Fact Wars,” we asked readers to cast their ballot for which candidate they thought was telling the truth. Votes arrived on TIME.com, on all our tablet platforms and, of course, through the good ol’ U.S. Postal Service.
Here are the results: We received tens of thousands of votes in our instant tablet polls (iPad, Nook, Galaxy and Kindle) and on TIME.com. And to our delight, readers across the country literally tore off the cover and mailed their choice to us. The paper ballots came from 27 states, including one from Hawaii (which, to no surprise, was for Obama). Overall, our very unscientific poll saw Obama with 76% of the truth vote. But don’t fret, Romney supporters: in the crucial battleground state of Ohio, he received 75% of the mailed votes. Now it’s on to the more scientific poll on Nov. 6.

Does the photograph on the right look familiar to you?
As Jason Sudeikis gets “Mitt Romney-fied” (a term we may or may not have just coined) for Saturday Night Live’s “Cold Opening: Debate”, his makeup team looks for inspiration in none other than Peter Hapak’s photograph of Romney for TIME that appeared in the story, “The Mind of Mitt.”

For this week’s cover story on the “facts” disseminating from both political campaigns, we wanted to capture the sense of being overwhelmed by often contradictory statements in a visual way.
The challenge of creating the typographical portrait (or calligram) of Obama and Romney fell to artist Dylan Roscover, a 22-year-old animator and graphic designer based in Los Angeles. Using statements from the candidates, the campaigns, ads and their supporters, Dylan spent 40 hours painstakingly crafting the cover artwork.
In Dylan’s words:
“The fonts I used are from one of my favorite foundries, Hoefler & Frere-Jones. Sentinel and Mercury define Romney, and Verlag and Archer define Obama. These fonts are very similar to the ones used in their political campaigns. Having grown up in the middle of the digital revolution, I sense a certain lack of patience toward digital work. Instant gratification is more prevalent than ever, and the attitude seems to be that faster is better. Calligram design, like any mosaic form, is inherently slow, even digitally. It’s something that requires an immense amount of patience and dedication, especially to be done well. To me, there are no shortcuts to great work—you need to put in the time somehow. People often ask me, ‘How did you do that?’ The simple fact is, you just have to sit down, start setting type and don’t stop.”
Dylan wasn’t the only one who logged extra hours on this cover. Check out the first round of corrections (above), courtesy of our intrepid copy desk.
