This was another co-op work quarter, so let's look at my favorite task at American Cyanamid: serving as editor of Quality Corner, the Acrylonitrile Plant's internal newsletter. It was published every other week and ranged from two to six photocopied 8.5"x11" pages, depending on how much news and SPC (Statistical Process Control) wisdom there was to convey.
I was fond of visual puns (see how the "OPERATOR TRAINING" headline is accompanied by clip art of an old-school telephone operator plus a locomotive?) and would often paste in (unlicensed) single-panel comic strips (plenty of The Far Side and an occasional Life In Hell), when I could shoehorn a "safety" or "quality" justification. In one edition I got some pushback for being too cute with alliteration in headlines ("Predictable Product Proves Profitable" & "Production's PIRP Plethora") but for the most part I had editorial autonomy.
As evidenced by the front pages in the attached image, I implemented my first redesign in May 1989 (check out that skybox!). Later in the run, I moved away from the limited newsletter-construction software program and started using a spreadsheet application for my desktop publishing (a hack I still employ). My affinity for producing Quality Corner foreshadowed my later involvement in the newspaper biz.
