Well, we won the pitch and managed to create a magazine in two weeks, from briefing the group to delivering the final version to the printer. It was some task!
The concept behind the magazine is to provoke a variety of different responses by giving each student the first and last line of a book, and providing them with a double page spread in which to communicate these lines. The only restrictions being that the lines have to be in thin boxes, bleeding off the edge of the page (the left bleeding left, and the right bleeding right) in Adobe Caslon pro 8pt, and it must be in black and white. This enabled us to create a coherent and professional-looking magazine, yet retaining it's character and student's individual style.
The outcome is brilliant, we had a huge variety of work; illustration, photography, written work etc. We were also able to provide our own paper to the printer, so there are lots of different colours for extra individuality.
My book was The Lumber Room by H.H Munro (Saki) See my pages above.
