First design in March 1995.

   
Bizline
When it first started, Biznews didn't look a bit like it looks in Feb 2003. Even its name was different.

When the bi-annual publication was first started out in March 1995, it was called Bizline. It was then a two-colour publication in black and red only. The masthead was typical of newsletters in the mid-90s serious- and corporate-looking.

In January 1998, the magazine was renamed to Biznews. Black, white and red were used for the masthead, and the magazine went full-steam into full-colour printing. Indeed, with more colours came more content. 

To mark its 10th anniversary, the magazine was revamped again in July 2000. The masthead was replaced with one that used handwriting typeface and the body text was replaced with serif typeface that makes reading easier on the eyes. By this time, content was segregated in five sections of studies, play, adventure, working life, and campus life.

In 2001, with the setting up of Diploma in Communications Media and Management, Brendan Wong, course manager of the diploma, was roped in as advisor.

Despite these changes throughout the years, what has remained unchanged at this point in time (February 2003) is the zeal of the editorial staff the same editorial team has remained since Biznews' inception! That says a lot of the team's camaraderie!

Biznews is also available online.
