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.

So for our last coverage of the 2010 Midterm Elections, our team created a double truck to package the results of the night. Throughout the evening, reporters and editors updated our website and social media sites. This page came together in the last hour, as the most updated stories and photos were filed from the field. While the graphic was created early, marking the results of the amendment and proposition votes, the rest of the content was placed near deadline. While completing the page was stressful, and may not have turned out as clean or precise as we would have liked, the overall appearance was consistent and effective.
