create something beautiful

Hi everyone,

For those that know me, you know I’m in a Master’s degree program in Publishing at NYU. And if you know me really well, you know I’m in my final weeks of it and about going insane trying to get my capstone project finished up. If you’re a really, really nice person, or happen to know anyone who may fit the bill and have 5 spare minutes, I would reallllllllllly appreciate it if you’d take my survey (and/or forward it to ANYONE you may know who would be willing to as well) to help me gauge the audience for the project I’m working on. It’s not long at all and every answer or comment is so incredibly helpful!

Take the survey about the potential launch of an eco-friendly fashion and beauty magazine here.

And if you’re really, really interested, I made up a mock cover a little while back of the kind of magazine I’m imagining. Any feedback on it or the concept whatsoever would be awesome! You can check it out in a previous post here.

Thank You Thank You Thank You!

Talk to you all when I’m done and have both a social life free time (to blog with, yay!) again in two weeks!

For my final project in Principles of Marketing & Branding this semester in grad school, we had to create a new media property and develop a marketing plan for it. We created PULP, a “green” magazine with style that’s for the general public more so than it is a stuffy little scientifically-written, difficult-to-get-through little “green”-focused magazine like the VERY few others that currently exist. Today, I made a cover for it. This is what it looks like:

I’ve decided this will also be my capstone project for next semester, the final course required for me to get my Master’s in Publishing next May, in which I basically do a far more in-depth, expanded version of what we did this week for Marketing.

I, personally, am DARN proud of this cover and am entirely in love with the idea of this magazine. Like it?
