Creative design as important to newspapers as creative reporting

The design, and not just the stories, of The Auburn Plainsman is a high priority to the staff. Editors value design just as much as an artist, architect or designer would. We are all creative and are taught to notice aesthetic details.

There isn't much difference between students in math or science or engineering. We all strive to solve problems.

We have to be meticulous to achieve success.

I think it's important to take advantage of the similarities between us. Being in school, we have an incredible opportunity to interact with a multitude of different people. We can all become involved in the creation of original ideas.

Working at The Plainsman has opened my eyes to this idea. Getting out of my design studio and into another one has not only increased my knowledge in the artistic realm, but has expanded my comfort zone to accept other creative approaches to my work.
