NEWS is a paper full of rsts. Ball State is the rst university to
have a program to teach journalists how to tell stories visually.
It is the rst (and only) college paper to be named Worlds Style
Best Designed by the Society for News Design. Yet, the Daily News
is in need of a change. Newspapers are becoming increasingly more
visual, and as one of the leaders in collegiate news design, the
Daily News must keep up. With a smaller Libraries news hole, a new
era of visual journalism and a young audience that is quickly going
to the Web for information, the Daily News needs a change. This
redesign hopes to breathe new life into the Daily News, both in
print and online. Well do this by telling stories differently,
layering information in smaller, faster chunks and using more art,
both photos and illustrations. To shed the boring, outdated image,
you, as the designer, need to be driven. Driven to make every page
portfolio-worthy, no matter how small it is. This redesign takes
each story and makes it into a package within itself. Every story
needs to be nely tuned and tweaked with words and visuals to make
it powerful. Each package design should be powerful and contribute
to a cohesive page design that keeps readers interested and
engaged. Watch, listen, learn and experiment. The worst someone can
tell you is no.Monday, April 30, 12

attend services during the Lenten season come mainly because of the
historical and traditional rituals, such as the prayers that have
been spoken for centuries. According to Bennett, the 40 days and 40
nights of Lent represent the 40 days and 40 nights of the 05 Dance
