Design

Given that I serve as Editor-in-Chief of the Statesman's online division, I do not frequently design for our paper issues. On the newspaper's website, however, I completely redesigned its layout from last year to give it a modern finish. Below are a few selections of designs from both our paper issues and our website that I've completed.

This is what the top of our website looked before the redesign (image via Web Archive), in which I had a predominant role. We also switched to the latest SNO sites layout options.

This is what the top of our website looks like now. Key differences we implemented include the search bar, a trending stories section, replaced ads, reorganized beats, updated fonts, a more visible "Meet the Staff" section and links to our social media.

This story was on the right of a spread, and I went for a minimalistic but crisp finish that incorporated the same blue bars on the left side of the spread. The result was a simple yet cohesive page.

In this feature, I tried to tell a story with words just as much as with a picture.

This is another minimalistic but crisp layout that emphasizes my love of bold letters and cool, light colors.

Part of the website's layout, which now includes trending stories, interactive polls, ads, beat-based categorization, updated font aesthetic and more. I completely redesigned the layout to bring it into its current form this year.

Though the whole layout couldn't be captured in one photo, this story involves several "chapters" which can be clicked on to highlight and reveal a specific part of the story; they all come together to create the whole piece.

I drew this graphic for a story chronicling soon-to-come construction at LHS, its title a play on the famous Bob Dylan song.
