During summer vacation of 2016, I sat in our new Newspaper Lab with my adviser and other designers, about to enter my first year as Editor-in-Chief of The Bobcat Banner. I stared at a blank design for hours. We taught ourselves InDesign as we went, and completely scratched the newspaper used for over 50 years. This year was a blank slate for us all. The blank design made me ask, “What did I want our newspaper to be? What legacy did I want to leave? How will our newspaper make a difference on the world?” As Editor-in-Chief of my publication, I had been given countless opportunities to make a difference through journalism. I realized my underlying purpose in this world as a leader and person. With new font, folios, format, and overall aesthetic, journalism gave me an outlet to impact the world, improving not just our newspaper, but the community.
