The UTD Mercury

Date: January 2010`

Role: Design, CSS Development, and Maintenance

Employer: The UTD Mercury

As part of an upgrade process from College Publisher 4 to College Publisher 5, I was tasked with creating a new design and layout for The UTD Mercury, a student newspaper for the University of Texas at Dallas.

After I created a mockup in Photoshop, I decided to code the CSS stylesheet myself.  I spent 4 months learning about College Publisher 5′s document structure and creating the stylesheet alongside my other duties at the paper.

There is currently an offsite WordPress blog in the works that will replace the one hosted on the College Publisher system.  It is expected to launch by the end of May.
