MFA Design first-year students recently completed a 4 week magazine project, and we we're extremely happy with the results. The students not only designed beautiful publications, but they also did a great job conceptualizing them and developing some truly original ideas.
For this editorial assignment, we asked students to conceptualize and design a magazine of their choice. This project is more than just a typographic exercise, as we wanted students to pitch magazine ideas that were a reflection of their own interests, strengths and personalities.
Over a four week time period, we saw these magazines evolve from an idea and a few spreads, to a full blown publication. The end results were surprising and exciting from both a design and conceptual standpoint–spanning across ideas such as the environment, true crime, sneaker culture, love, hate, breakups, myths, travel and much more.
