These are the sample layouts I had initially created over the summer. I attempted to adhere to the existing layouts while making sufficient changes to give the paper a refreshed appearance. In addition to a new layout, I also redesigned our logo!
This year’s September issue, unfortunately, didn’t allow me to contribute as much as I had hoped due to undergoing hip surgery after tearing my labrum. While I assisted in planning the layout, ensuring the stories were placed appropriately, I placed complete trust in my team to execute the newspaper, following the sample layouts I had previously created.
Wolf Howl 2025 Issue 01 Sept-compressed.pdfWolf Howl November 2025 Issue 01-combined-compressed.pdfOur November Issue is the next issue we published and the first issue that I completely helped our editors to create. I was proud of the outcome and the work I put into the issue as a whole.
Apart from publishing newspapers, The Wolf Howl annually releases its Arts Issue. As the Editor-in-Chief, I was responsible for developing a theme, editing all the pages, selecting a featured artist, and leading the team to create a successful 24-page product. We commenced production of the Arts Issue in December, with its scheduled release in February. This issue tested my leadership skills as I had to guide a team and ensure everyone adhered to the requirements I had set out initially. I wanted the theme to be a time capsule in a way that artists would submit pieces that they made when they had first began their craft compared to their most recent work. My goal was to show people to not be so hard on themselves as we are constantly growing, even if we don't realize it. Along the way we encountered some challenges because my reporters wanted to take creative direction in a particular way, which I disagreed with. I never want to be a leader who forces people to follow my lead, but this issue forced me to learn how to assert my position while still being respectful and understanding of their perspectives.
01-02 front cover, featured artist.pdfI was excited to have the opportunity to interview our featured artist because she comes from a family of broadway performers and I wanted to hear her experience learning from them but also where her own path was headed.
11 theater.pdfPage 11, the theater page, was not originally my responsibility. The reporter who was supposed to be working on it ended up not showing up to class for the time we were working on our pages, resulting in a blank spread. With no one else picking up the slack, I added it onto my plate to complete the layout, gather photos from other reporters, and create the written layout. I learned how to work under pressure and balance having numerous layouts to complete.
14-15-16-17 creative writing.pdfFor the creative writing portion, we received submissions via google forms and I got to create a page spread that highlighted the writers and their work. This page was a challenge because I did have to edit down some of the submissions due to either length or grammatical errors. These pages challenged me because I was balancing doing my other pages while keeping everyone on track, but overall I am proud of the end result.
24 back cover.pdfThe back page was fairly easy to put together but I was challenged with my layout skills because I had to give page credit while also not taking attention away from the names. Overall I am extremely proud of this issue and how I have grown throughout this process.
