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.

Goodbye to a designer
Hey CSU, just a quick note from Chief Designer Greg Mees:
Tonight was a night that we, the Collegian design team, knew was coming, yet somehow avoided the idea until we couldn’t anymore.
Tonight, Jessica Gibbs designed her last verve section and last pages at The Rocky Mountain Collegian. Jessica is graduating next week from Colorado State University and therefore will be leaving the Collegian and moving on to greater challenges and adventures.
Jessica always brings an lively and humorous energy to the newsroom when it is needed most. Her clever phrases and crazy YouTube video finds make everyone in the newsroom laugh and really bring the late night group together.
She has grown as a designer and it is so strange that she will not be designing news, or verve pages any longer. Also, Jessica will no longer be writing the bi-weekly fashion column.
So with that, Jessica will be missed, however we are excited to see where she goes and what she tackles next!
