Guest Blogger Rachel Fishman ’15 Through the client newsletter project I worked on this semester in CUPID, I have learned the value of visual design.

With just a few more days of class left, and less than three weeks … Continue Reading

CUPID Studio: Flexibility is Key
Guest Blogger Will Stiefel ’13 With every client project, there are always obstacles to overcome.

CUPID Studio: Working with the Work of Others
Guest Blogger Immanuel Bryant ’14 It’s difficult to work with someone who is working. Whether they are working on something for themselves or for someone else seems to be irrelevant to a writer…until our work depends on them working with us. The complexity of the previous paragraph depicts the situation I have faced working with my client this semester in … Continue Reading

RPR’s Twitter Accountability Plan
You write papers for your classes all the time, but have you ever wondered how a professor writes the papers that s/he publishes in academic journals? When I was a student, I just assumed my professors were very smart and got automatically published. Not true. We go through the same types of planning, procrastinating, drafting, revising, seeking out and implementing … Continue Reading

Keyboard Standardization
In 1870, the QWERTY keyboard was introduced as the standardization for typewriters. The inventor of this keyboard, Christopher Sholes, was challenged to create a device with “an easily understandable interface with the complicated technology of ink, type bars, levers, and springs.” The QWERTY layout “stresses the left hand, forces jumps to the top row and has very uneven finger loading.” … Continue Reading
