In this Project, students focus on creating a 10-12 page magzine design. It includes critical components of a magazine such as masthead, front cover, table of contents, magazine advertisements, lead article spread(s), and etc.
Magazines are a combination of many carefully designed components. In this course we will examine the historical roots and contemporary practice of magazine design. This is a studio course in which students will develop their skills of designing a magazine for both print and interactive digital platforms. Students will study commercial magazine design practices to layout a magazine, and how to organize concepts, content, sections, and sequence to develop readable extended text in a hierarchical format.
