Part-time work as a member of the University of Oregon student newspaper's editorial board creating a wide range of graphics with attitude. "All hope abandon, ye who enter" the graphic editor's office.
Affected the tone of articles through a variety of graphics that expanded on story lines and advanced editorial objectives. Conveyed editorial board views on campus and community affairs.
Increased readership by entertaining readers from sidewalks, trash cans, and clogged storm drains.
Improved comprehension of complex issues by developing a Frankenstein-like patchwork style, loosely stitching satire together with graphic techniques borrowed from syndicated cartoonists such as Jeff MacNelly, Berkeley Breathed, Bill Watterson, and Pat Oliphant. Learned technical tips from Jack Ohman, who happened to visit the University of Oregon one day.
