Danielle Provencher / Palm Beach Daily News

Danielle Provencher makes bright pages with a lot of punch for the Palm Beach Daily News. She appreciates its high-quality newsprint and emphasis on quality.

"The standards for color and photo reproduction here are very high," Provencher said. "If there's not a good-looking picture in the paper every day, the photographers will complain about it. Our sister paper here, the Palm Beach Post, also has a high standard for photo quality."

Provencher is one of the designers who've learned to appreciate the software in which Cox makes its newspaper pages.

"When I first came here it was a great disappointment," she said. "I was in Quark before. Every day I raved about how much I missed it and hated DTI [Ditigital Technology Inc.] But since then I've learned that I can do everything in DTI that I could do in Quark."

Born in Quebec, she grew up in North Lauderdale and earned a degree in mass communications from the University of South Florida in Tampa in 1995. She has been a copy editor and page designer for the Daily News since March 1999.

In her spare time, she is a volunteer at a recording studio where books and magazines are put on tape for the Library of Congress, which distributes them to the blind.

"It's one of only three recording studios in the country volunteering to do that work," Provencher said.
