Student Web design

Awesome ideas, guys. Ryan, thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that before.

We're dipping our feet into the Web design world. And because everything we do here is for publication, we've been taking some of our big packages (the often-100-inch investigative-style cover piece we have each weekend, plus some features) and designing online packages.

Our Web site is totally database-driven, and if we want an article to be searchable, it needs to be in the database. So the clunky way we have to get readers to these packages is to link to them out of the text-only versions. We're working on how to get flat page templates that will show up in searches and archives.

But for now, here are a few links to what we've published. I'd love to see what your students are doing as we all navigate this strange new world of news design.
