The Year in Mastheads

Mastheads are the top of a ship’s mast, the tall pole that supports the
sails. On the masthead, a flag usually flies to identify the ship. In
media jargon, the masthead is the publication’s logo.

For Model
D, our masthead is the extreme horizontal photo that graces the top of
the home page. Each week, photographer Dave Krieger delivers a
different image — always crisp, always meant to make you think, “Wow.
That’s Detroit?”

The mastheads are
the first thing you see when you open Model D, and the vivid images set
the tone for the entire publication. We have a different Detroit story
to tell, and you can see it in this collection of images from our first
year. Click here to see.
