Colorado State University's daily student-run newspaper, The Rocky Mountain Collegian, is dedicated to serving and covering the CSU and Fort Collins communities.
This is the Collegian's design blog. In each post we will feature some of the paper's best design elements, other non-design work done by the staff and new or exciting happenings in the design world.
Your Collegian Design Staff
We are your 2011-2012 Collegian Design Staff. Two employees who have been here for quite some time, we are both students and passionate journalists who work each night to produce a daily collegiate paper. We hope to provide you with interesting and exciting examples of news, entertainment, and sports design along with other things happening from the design desk.
Alexandra Sieh - Design Editor/Copy Chief
Hired on as a designer almost 2 years ago, Alexandra has worked her way from designer to Design Editor, now responsible for managing the design, copy and cartoon desks. An employee for 3.5 years, she’s seen it all at the Collegian, familiar with each desk and their own needs from design. From special sections to graphics to illustrations, she maintains the visuals of the paper, serving as visual graphics designer and late night manager, preserving style and flow while still introducing new elements to the pages. It’s up to her to push limits and bring new designs to the pages, drawing in interest and intrigue to even the simplest stories.
Greg Mees - Chief Designer
Hired as a designer in January of 2010, Greg has worked hard to become Chief Designer for the 2010-2011 school year. For his job, Greg takes on a good portion of the responsibilities, monitoring page flow and designing both inside and cover pages to achieve clean, appropriate design. He works with our designers and other editors to make sure content is coming in. He is currently in the process of training to take over the Design Editor position in May of next year.
