Newspaper Design
I believe that designing the newspaper is a concept that people outside of the journalism field do not quite grasp. It is so much more than just throwing some pictures and words on a page. Designing is an art form that takes years to master. Below I have included the first page I ever designed and the most recent page that I have ever designed so show how I have grown as a designer over my three years on staff. All designs shown are featured in Uncaged Student News.
Above are some of the many pages that I have designed while on staff. I selected these pages, because they showed versatility in what type of pages I have designed.
Above is the first cover and cover story pages I had ever designed. These were the hardest page that I had ever designed as a junior and I am so happy with the way they turned out because I felt like the design looked like it came straight out of a professional news-magazine. Since then I have continued to grow as a designer by taking classes at the Michigan Scholastic Press Association Summer Workshop and one day workshops.
