Week Three of The Hawk

Hello hello,

Here's week three of my experience on The Hawk's staff:

9/26/12

     I can finally say that I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of using InDesign. It took a little while, but I am comfortable using it now, which is good. For this issue Kristen Pilkington and Abby Riviello wrote an article about being abroad in Galway, Megan wrote the Faces of SJU article on Cecilia Ready, I wrote an article on the True Story: I’m an Addict event, we had a graphic about what to do for college day in Philly, and Jess wrote a recipe for zucchini bread.

     I had 4 pages this week, and I was definitely struggling with space. I overestimated how long the articles were going to be. We came up with a Trending at SJU box, which I heard people actually liked; maybe I could do that more. I feel like with Overheards though, it might be overkill. This week definitely tested my knowledge of InDesign. Now I know to be more careful when planning my page count and articles out.

     I also tried to make my layout interesting and different again. I hope it worked.

Here's PDFs of my work:
