College alumni magazines must appeal to a wide spectrum of readers – recent grads, older alumni, administrators, faculty, donors, prospective students, and more. Special sections or departments are often created to appeal to a specific group or to discuss recurring topics of interest.

Using our knowledge base to help aspiring area students is critical and this year everyone in the office is playing a part. Elizabeth, Claude and Kevin have taken on adjunct faculty positions this spring. Elizabeth will be teaching a graduate publication design course at MICA, while Claude and Kevin will be teaching graphic design and typography (respectively) at Towson University.

Magazines: First Impressions
A publication’s first pages (including the inside front cover!) are critical real estate. They establish visual style and editorial voice. Make them as compelling as possible with great photography and well-organized, concise contents that make readers want to keep reading.
