Convention Offers Opportunity for Drive-By Design Criticism
The AAN convention in Little Rock will have something entirely new for design and production folks: the first-ever drive-by criticism display. Members should mail two copies of the sections of their papers that they would like to be critiqued to Debra Silvestrin at AAN, being sure to indicate specific concerns. The sections will then be available for continuous ad-hoc constructive criticism by professionals in the field, aka other members. Newspapers may take advantage of this opportunity without having staff attend the convention, but there will be time for attendees to mingle with those who offered helpful criticism.
