Throughout the past two years at the Echo, we’ve been working hard to deliver you stunning visual content. We’ve re-vamped our photo department and created an entirely new video department in order to expand our coverage into the visual realm.

While making the new Colby Echo site, we wanted a means through which we could showcase all the beautiful visual content we were making. We decided to make a large changeable viewbox on the front page.

The viewbox is coded in Javascript and changes images when you click on its thumbnails. When you click the large picture, it brings you to that article.

The articles in the viewbox are custom picked by the editors. In picking articles for the viewbox, we generally like to choose one top news article, two non-news articles, and a video.

We hope the viewbox will give you a bigger, clearer lens with which you can view and enjoy the visual content The Colby Echo is producing.
