These are the sample layouts I had initially created over the summer. I tried to follow the existing layouts while making enough changes to give the paper a refreshed look. In addition to a new layout, I also redesigned the logo!
Unfortunately, the September 2025 issue didn’t allow me to contribute as much as I had hoped because I underwent hip surgery after tearing my labrum. While I helped plan the layout and ensured the stories were placed appropriately, I trusted 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 was the next one we published and the first I fully helped our editors create. I was proud of the outcome and the work I put into the issue as a whole.
In addition to publishing newspapers, The Wolf Howl annually releases its Arts Issue. As Editor-in-Chief, I developed a theme, edited all pages, selected a featured artist, and led the team to produce a successful 24-page issue. 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 the team and ensure everyone adhered to the requirements I set out initially. I wanted the theme to be a time capsule, in a way that encouraged artists to submit pieces they made when they first began their craft alongside their most recent work. My goal was to show people not to be so hard on themselves, as we are constantly growing, even if we don't realize it. Along the way, we faced challenges because my reporters wanted to take creative direction in a way 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.
