Prep for Week 6 - 10/14

Magazine prep, finally getting a little serious:

By next week, post your article on this blog. Have it written, in paragraph form (not clusters or bullet points). Consider this your first draft, from which we will all comment on and I will edit to the best of my ability. Week 7, expect to do the same, but have all content finalized. From this word count, I will block out article space in the magazine. By Week 8, all final edits are to be in so we can finish the production of the magazine in time.

Week 6 in class, we will respond to each others articles. Would be best if we have read the blog the night before so we don't have to read in class. Articles should have a working title. Accompanying illustrations or photography should be considered. Illustrators/Writers collaborate. Storyboarding and sketching.

Also, something that can be tackled Week 7, but we can start drawing up - the cover and logotype for "The Anachronist" .. that week, we should bring in our sketches and be prepared to present. Can imagine that all of us would like to do the cover, but when it comes down to it, its either photography, illustration, or design. Too many hands in one pot will be confusing, so execution will be delegated to one lucky person. I will help set type. Have your idea ready to fly and present. Samples or a portfolio of your illustration and photography work will help us decide what your abilities are. Remember cost before getting too attached to dye-cutting etc. We can make it exciting and dimensional through the design itself. Anything other than being printed must have a VERY good reason.

More TBD ... onward !!
