SND 33 officially draws to a close today, and I get to go home, because the judges have finally decided.
I got to witness the entire judging process as I blogged everyone’s progress. What an honor to hear ongoing critiques from five judges, at the top of their game, representing different regions and points of view.
I’ll be guest blogging for SND starting tomorrow, through Tuesday, as a panel of judges decides which newspaper is the world’s best designed.
This is my second year doing this, and it’s a privilege to have a front-row seat on the process.
I’ll have judge bios, gather their perspectives on the state of design, and maybe take a peek at what designers are doing in other countries.
After a little more than one term as Region 1 director, I’m pleased to take on a new role at SND…
Society for News Design members are invited to take part in the SND Foundation Student Symposium, Friday, Feb. 3, in Syracuse.
This offers a great chance for our student chapter members especially to take part and to hear from top minds in visual journalism.
We have an excellent line-up of speakers:
Jonathon Berlin of the Chicago Tribune
Richard Johnson of the National Post
Adonis Durado of the Times of Oman and Al Shabiba
The seminar precedes the Best of News Design competition judging. (Lee Steele will return as guest blogger at SND.org during the World’s Best Design judging Feb. 10-14.)
Send in your questions and interact with us through Cover It Live or send them to @SND on Twitter. If you’re tweeting about the program, use #sndsyracuse in your tweets.

Plan early and save some dough the SND Annual Workshop, Oct. 11-13, 2012, in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Capital of the World, Cleveland, Ohio. Register here.

Goodbye STL. Hello CLE.
The Society for News Design is in early preparations for its 2012 workshop in Cleveland. SND CLE will open with a reception at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and most likely maintain a rocker vibe the rest of the week.
The St. Louis workshop, which ended Saturday, demonstrated a lot more upbeat energy than the year [Read more...]
Designer and artist Carrie Gee was one my colleagues at the SND workshop in St. Louis, and she saw a lot of things that I didn’t. She’s a lot younger and a lot more talented than I am, so I’m interested her point of view. Now that the dust is settling on SND STL, she has composed her thoughts.
Five years ago, when she was Carrie Hoover, she won an internship competition at SND, and she chose to contribute her talents to the San Jose Mercury News. She was soon snapped up by the Oregonian. Today, she’s at Font Bureau, and is art director of Edible Vineyard magazine.
I have to admit that I’m a little relieve to see that even someone representing her generation was apprehensive about the digital revolution. We print types are all a little nervous. But she’s feeling more confident about the future. Read on…
