Making Magazines
MECO6914
Making Magazines explores practical and theoretical aspects of contemporary magazine culture. Students work in small groups to conceive, plan, write and design a small 'dummy' (prototype) magazine. The unit emphasises editing and design rather than marketing, although students will learn the importance of the commercial media landscape. The unit also encompasses concepts such as genre, gender, class, taste, celebrity and lifestyle as they relate to current magazine practice. Students will be introduced to the publishing software InDesign in computer labs.
