Yesterday was the Student Society of News(formerly newspaper) Designers contest. Missouri took a lot of awards home. Congrats to Phil, Meredith, Taryn, Kristin, Alex and Lauren for all getting a win!
For those of you there, I hope you had a chance to listen to some of the judges' advice. Here's some of the most helpful or recurring things they mentioned:
If you have a good idea, get out of the way and let it speak for itself.
Pay attention to detail. Design elements should be consistent and seem thoughtful.
No outlined type! Period!
Know when to stop. A mature designer knows when to stop adding stuff to the page and not overwhelm the user.
Want more? Check out the SSND blog to hear more of the judges' advice. More audio will be coming soon about their thoughts on daily categories and designer of the year.
