Here’s What Jane Austen Taught Me About Smartphones
When I followed a girl to Ann Arbor in 2018, I left my job as a newspaper designer and copy editor at The Holland Sentinel in West Michigan.
I wasn’t sad to leave behind my entry-level newspaper salary, but I did miss the job as I figured out what I was going to do next. Wanting to continue to support local journalism, I subscribed to the twice-weekly paper edition of The Ann Arbor News. Shortly thereafter, I discovered the joy of collage.
In addition to cutting up Life and National Geographic like every other collage maker does, I decided to cannibalize my newspapers to create new “stories” from its pages, leaning on my experience with newspaper layout at The Sentinel. The only rule I had was that each collage needed to be from a single edition of the paper.
