STRATEGIES
* Staffing strategies
1. Modular design is ideal for teamwork. A team of 3-4 students can be assigned to a spread. Select a team leader.
*method of design
* Staffing strategies
2. Students work together to plan and create the overall spread.

* Staffing strategies
3. Students work individually to report, photograph, write and design individual modules.

* MAKEOVER MOD
For staffs wanting more content, let’s do a MOD makeover and
convert regular photo boxes into dynamic content modules!

Our traditional design features:
FACES
Is this enough coverage? *
*
Let’s convert the dominant module … *
* … into a photo collection featuring four photos.
To tell a more inclusive story, this single photo … *
… is now replaced with four photos with personal stories. *
To expand our storytelling even further, let’s turn this photo … *
… into a module featuring three photos accompanied by quotes. *
* To add three more faces and voices to the story …
… a single photo is now a dynamic question/answer feature. *
* To expand the story and include even more students …
… an infograph with survey results also incorporates photos. *
Let’s finish by taking this area occupied by two candid photos … *
* … and convert it into a module showcasing four related photos.
A MOD makeover greatly expands coverage and storytelling. *
44 Let’s do the math
faces + 18 photos + 13 survey participants + 150 storytelling quotes + 10 feature story with quotes
