Redesign: Opinion - In the past page two was split evenly between the two guest commentaries (left). Now I have rearranged the same content to put the focus on one of the stories making the other secondary. This also allows for better use of art which makes the page much more interesting and dramatic.
Redesign: News - The old design (left) treated the news and cap city features separately. In the redesign (right) I have combined the two features, allowing cap city and/or secondary news stories to flow through the news section creating multiple entry points for readers.
Redesign: Letters - In the redesign (right) I used fewer letters to allow for the use of more imagery along with the option to feature one letter, giving the page a better focal point. The cartoon was moved to a jump page later in the book.
Redesign: Politics - In the redesign (right) I gave the edit three columns instead of two, allowing for more imagery to make the page more interesting and dramatic.
Redesign: Movies - The redesign (right) retained very similar to the original design (left), slight changes were made to make the movie page compatible with the new style of the rest of the book.
Redesign: Music - The redesign (right) simplifies the pub crawl page and using one large photo with a small blurb about the band.
Redesign: Calendar - The redesign (right) combines the night & day page with the calendar, simplifying the individual pages of the calendar. The individual "picks" are now spread throughout the calendar and now have adjustable word counts allowing more flexibility for the writers.
