DESIGN 

At The Booster Redux, we place just as much emphasis on design as we do on writing. A story can be beautifully written, but if it's not designed well, it will be ignored. It's because of this that we are constantly discussing how we can make our pages appeal to our student audience through graphics, white space, alternative coverage and more. 

 

I picked up design during my junior year. My perfectionism was a life-saver when it came to my pages: I would spend hours playing around with spacing and placement to get it just right. As editor-in-chief, I have input on all of our pages. This year, we changed multiple elements of our style to create a more sophisticated look.

Design input as editor-in-chief 

One of the designs that I gave the most input on was our staff logo. 

 

Working together, my visual content editors drafted different designs and showed them to me. I gave them critiques and coached them on how to improve after each draft. They took my input and after countless drafts, we came up with our favorite design.
