Student Publication Iowa State Daily

Kyle Starcevich

Why I chose the Daily…It was the only publication I had heard of before. A lot of people wanted to find one that they had not heard of to do their projects on but I wanted to do one that I had prior knowledge about to make it easier and fun to find out more that I did not already know. The Iowa State Daily I feel has the easiest access to get. It is everywhere on campus and can get it just about anywhere you turn!

Projects

1.Analysis Paper 2.Profile Paper 3.Visual

Analysis PaperAphasia by Steve NissenI chose this article based on the design side of the article. All of my student publication project I tried to focus on the visuals, design, and art side of everything. Art being something that I really love it made it easy for me to do this analysis paper.Challenge: Writing more of an analysis of the paper and keeping my point of view out of the paper.

Profile PaperInterviewed Mark Witherspoon, editorial advisorHad a great experience doing this! I have never interviewed someone for a paper and this was an awesome experience.Got a job offer!Because of this….

VisualMark Witherspoon

• Asked me to do caricatures/political cartoons for their opinion section of the newspaper.

• Never thought I would have a job opportunity through a English class project.

PurposeTo draw your eyes to the art, and to the advertisement.Make it more enjoyable and fun to look at for the audience.

PositionTo create a visual that one makes you wonder what it is, but also clear enough to where it is not too difficult to understand.

AudienceFor Iowa State Students, staff, and anybody that reads the Iowa State Daily. Also for anybody interested in a job for the newspaper.

ConclusionWhat I learned: I learned my strengths and weaknesses in writing and projects. I learned that I struggled with the analysis in keeping my point of view out of the paper. I thought the profile was a great experience with the interview and job opportunity that I have. And the visual was awesome! I love art and that was my favorite part of this assignment. It was fun to do a project that is a little different than other classes. It was fun to interact with people and get more than one view on things.
