Magazine Design

This class explores the concepts and methods of magazine design, with the practical experience of producing a cross-media magazine for output to a digital device and print. Special attention is given to the use of images in integration with text, grids and the role of experimentation and innovation in the modern magazine.

Connect Quarterly App:
This dual orientation publication app was created as part of a final project for the course by a group of 4 students.

The students were very considerate of how interactions and effects unique to digital publiations can enhance a readers experience when used correctly.
