Assistant Design Editor Munier Salem ’10 wrote this blog post about what it’s like to work at The Sun on a night with breaking news before Schedulizer.com went back up:
Breaking news on State Street! It’s just after 8:00 p.m. down here at The Sun and we’re rearranging the front page to make way for the PeopleSoft debacle.

Well folks, we here in the design department are working furiously to
bring you fresh new layouts for the fall semester (I always thought fall
fashion trumped spring's anyway!). Carol is in the home stretch, working on
a brand new Ecplise layout on thick, white magazine-style paper. We're
also pumping out a tweaked sports section, featuring a new "Inside Sports"
bar, a new "Inside This Issue" bar for the front page and fresh
infographic styles and ideas. The entire department has been revving up
with assistants and night editors to get ready for the first intense
months of school, where we'll be training new staff and balancing new
coursework.
Will print Media falls under the might of the Blogosphere? Not a chance!

“Who is going to make the dummy pages [for the Eclipse supplement]?”
A little piece of me died as I said ‘goodbye’ to my summer and ‘hello’ to redesigning The Sun’s magazine-style weekend supplement, Eclipse.

An interesting anomaly was discovered in the pages of Cornell's Comprehensive Master Plan. Has CMYK stumbled upon a new mystery, or just some Photoshopped fooey?
