Class Magazines

Your final project for this class will allow you to utlize the skills you've been learning during our design labs by putting together a group online magazine. This digital publication will consist of carefully-curated writings from each group member and should be well-designed in HTML and CSS code. These magazines should also be carefully copy-edited and marketed through Twitter and other means of communication.

Each group member will fill one of five roles, though every person will be involved in every aspect of the project:
1. Editor in Chief
2. Creative Director
3. Web Developer
4. Copy Editor
5. Marketing/Communications Manager

The magazine should be representative of your group members' best work, so not all writing will be included. The editor in chief will be responsible for helping to collectively decide what works will appear in the online magazine. The creative director and the web developer will work hand in hand to map out and execute the site design, which should be cohesive throughout. The copy editor will be in charge of making sure every group member participates in the editing and revision process. Finally, the marketing and communications manager should work to develop innovative ways to find a readership at Belmont and beyond.

Each project should contain the following components:
1. Three feature articles
2. Two commentary articles
3. Two or more short genre pieces
4. Use of images, video, and audio to enhance the reading experience
5. Five marketing appeals (tweets w/ links, emails, flyers, etc.)
6. Magazine Name and purpose

Presentations will be held on the day of the final exam. Lack of attendance at the final presentation will result in a 50% deduction from your final grade for this project.
