We did three things in class today.
We did three things in class today.
- We went to the podcast suite and shot three episodes of our podcast series called where it stands. Each student gave a rundown of where their magazine production was and a little description of the thought process.
- After recording, we went downstairs to the seminar room and created a prototype of our own personal zines. The overwhelming opinion was that individual magazines was the preferred path forward. Please be sure to hang on to those paper prototypes.
- We then discussed the methods of creating the magazine. The most important aspect to keep in mind is no matter what app you're using to lay out your pages, make sure they are eight and a half by 11. They can scale up and scale down from there but that aspect ratio is important.
- For class next week, Everyone agreed to come in with a PowerPoint presentation with your magazine pages ready to display on a TV screen
- We will shoot another episode of our where it stands podcast.
- If you have any questions feel free to email me
