Welcome to the Fall 2009 Design Comp! The Design Board is responsible for the professional presentation of The Crimson’s publications. This includes the front and feature pages of the daily paper as well as Arts, FM, Sports and supplemental publications. We lay out pages and prepare all graphs and graphics. The design comp teaches some of the most marketable skills around: layout with Adobe InDesign, photo manipulation with Adobe Photoshop and graphic creation with Adobe Illustrator. The semester-long comp consists of weekly meetings, training sessions and supervised time for exercise completion. Compers work with existing editors when they first begin designing pages for publication. After graduating from the comp, newly elected editors often choose to work closely with one section of The Crimson, be it Sports, FM, Arts or the daily. In addition to learning how The Crimson and all of its sections go to print every day, you'll learn a lot about creating interactive graphics for the web and generally how to present written material visually. Over the past decade, our Board has consistently been recognized annually by the Associate Collegiate Press and we're looking forward to expanding our capabilities this semester with a new push towards the web. If you're interested in comping the Design Board this spring, please sign up! Have any questions, comments or concerns? Contact Alee and Sarah at design@thecrimson.com. They would love to hear from you :) |
