Community by Design
Last weekend, I found myself in a situation not unlike situations past, whereby I (designer) was being instructed by a group of individuals (non-designers) in the layout of a 12-page independent newspaper called Critical Moment. CM, which was first organized and published by graduate students at the University of Michigan, began in 2003 as a forum that could help progressive/radical groups on campus communicate with each other about campaigns, upcoming events, etc.
