With the redesign of The Signal paper, come the new designed kiosks that these papers will be in.
Along with the art club, the signal editors, graphic designers,photographer and advertising manager the removal of the kiosk began the morning. After a breakfast of doughnuts and coffee in the Signal newsroom provided by Dr.Stevens (advisor of The Signal).
The kiosk were taken to the courtyard of the art department where the cleaning and washing of them started. The team worked together to helping each other with providing rags,hosing down the soap, and scrubbing the kiosk.
Advertising manager Nathan Straubinger (junior, Psychology) was one of the people to back up the idea of having a new look for the kiosk.
“I thought it was a pretty cool marketing technique since the kiosk would be stapled around campus. We would have creative kiosk with a creative newspaper,” Straubinger said.
The new designs will help the artist get their work shown. One of the main reasons that the Signal’s graphic designer, Madison Toel (senior,Art) got behind the idea of changing the kiosk to match the new design of the paper.
“I talked to a lot of people and they told me that they did not even notice the kiosks all around campus. I thought this would be a more exciting way to bring the art department onto our campus,” Toel said.
This is Toel’s last semester so she wanted to end it on a high note.
“This is a great way for me to combine the two things that I love, which are art and The Signal. I am happy to involved. We had an extra spectacular team at The Signal this semester and I am excited to end on a high note,” she said.
Toel took the idea to the president of the art club on campus, Alejandro Fernandez (senior, Art) who agreed to the idea of helping out.
“Madison came to us and asked if we could do it. I agreed to do it because I think the school looks boring. If we paint these kiosk they will stand out,” Fernandez said.
The artist were granted the freedom to do what they wanted and this allowed them to showcase their talent. 
“The painters will be painting whatever they want on the spot,” he said. “They have not told me what they are thinking of doing.” 
He finds this to be a great way to advertise the student paper. 
“This is a nice and prominent way to advertise the news,” he added in. 
Isabel Tardiff (junior, Business) is the one who came up with the idea of revamping the kiosk. 
“I realized that our kiosk did not stand out. They kind of just blended in with the background of the buildings,” Tardiff said. 
She took the idea to the advisor of The Signal.
“I went to Dr. Stevens with the idea and she was the one guided me to Madison. Madison had connections with the art club and this is how we got the art students involved,” she said. 
Her main goal is to get people to pick the paper.
“I hope more people see the kiosk now and realize that it is free!” She said. “I want people to pick up the paper.” 
The new kiosk that were painted were a way for the painters to represent themselves. One of these painters were Andrew Cabrera (Junior, English). 
“I painted the kiosk with the skateboarding donut with the help of Alex and another person out there,” Cabrera said.
He found inspiration from one of his articles. 
“I wanted to paint a kiosk because I wanted to leave something behind for people to remember me by. I was inspired by my first printed article about the donuts around town,” he said. 
This kiosk represents him.
“I chose a skateboarding donut because it resembles me perfectly. If I’m not tutoring in the Writing Center or taking pictures for the Signal, than you can find me riding my skateboard around campus or eating a glazed donut at our local shops,” he said. 
The Signal team along with the art students worked hard to make these new kiosk stand out and hope that people notice them and pick up the student paper that the Signal staff works hard to put out every month.
