Design
Are you interested in graphic design? Did you love working for your high school yearbook or newspaper? Do you know what Adobe Creative Cloud is? Do you enjoy creating illustrations? If you answered yes to any one of these questions, Design at The Daily may be the place for you! Design is in charge of graphics, illustrations and page design for the newspaper. We also produce special inserts such as The Statement, The B-Side and Sports Monday. As a designer, you will enhance your skills with Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator; receive feedback on your work; and receive valuable hands-on technical and design experience that you cannot get anywhere else on campus.
Positions
Illustrator
Illustrators come into the newsroom on their scheduled day of the week to create one or more illustrations based on design requests from other sections. The Design Managing editor in charge of your production day will contact you in the afternoon the day before to send you the design requests of the day. The illustrations range from small-scale, simple drawings or entire covers.
