Julie and Kayla have created several page one treatments for story layout and how the name of the Daily Skiff might appear.One of our redesign team members, Paige McArdle, headed out yesterday to see if we might be able to post black & white, full-size copies of these covers at the BLUU and the library with Post-it notes for folks to write down their comments.
I've posted mini-versions today and invite any of those following the redesign to comment or vote on the covers.
Refer to the letter in the circle on each version when commenting or voting.
The new Skiff could feature a variety of layouts options or stick with one or two formats. Displays range from a single photo to photos with stories to no stories at all, just photos and teases to the inside content.
Let us know if you have a preference or not.
You can scan other national and international tab covers along with daily broadsheets as the Newseum.
They all look tiny compared to the paper we have now. Is the idea to save money and go with a smaller paper?
ReplyDeleteOut of all the options, I like "A," especially the new logo.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE design B. You could really capture our students eyes with such a bold and eye captivating layout.
ReplyDeleteI think I like E or G combined with the flush-left design of option 2...but I also like the pictures as teasers. Maybe there could be a small combo between F's popping pictures and E and G's short one-story style. But then again, that's holding onto an older style and perhaps pictures would be just fine. Here's to hoping the photos are good enough to make it on the front page.
