| "I
approached this magazine design with no design concept in mind.
I was mainly focused on 'the look' of the magazine more than
the technicalities. Hence, I found myself falling into major
design errors that I was not aware of due to my inexperience
in this field. My magazine is called THE POiNT, a publication
for the Pinellas Point community, which is the neighborhood
I am covering while I am at Poynter. The magazine features local
stories that are of concern to members of the community. The
cover features a photo illustration, so does the main spread.
For this issue, the main story is by Marc Hebert, a summer Reporting
and Writing fellow and my partner on 'the beat.' My main aim
was to take advantage of white space and give the reader room
to breathe. I was also going for an elegant and sophisticated
look, something that is clean and easy to read." |
