SPD recently got a peek of the new ESPN Analytics Issue, out on newsstands now.   Art director Keir Novesky gives us some insight into putting together this info packed issue. 

Developing a cohesive look and feel for themed issues always presents challenges. It was particularly difficult for our third annual Analytics issue, which focuses on what Nate Silver describes in his introductory essay as "dark matter": the invisible stuff of the sports universe--toughness, potential, chemistry and more--once thought to be unquantifiable.
