Howdy!

This week in lab the EZINE staff members worked on layouts and updated everyone on where they were with their stories. Today we went into detail about how layouts should look.

Thanks and Gig’em,

Howdy! 

This week we started to design our layouts for our feature stories and short stories. We looked at several different magazines so we could get some ideas for different layouts. Also, we are starting to get ads for the magazine which is exciting!

Thanks and Gig 'Em,

Howdy!

I am the new associate editor for the EZINE for the fall semester 2010!!   I am so excited about this magazine. We have a great staff this semester. During our first staff meeting we came up with some great ideas for articles. I can't wait to get further along in the magazine!

Thanks and Gig 'Em,

Another great magazine

Congratulations to the editors of the AgriLeader and the AgriLeader Ezine -- the new magazines look fabulous.
I also want to congratulate Parker Penny and Cody Lillich, co-editors of the Ezine Vol 1(2) for being receiving first place in the ACT Critique & Contest electronic publication division.

I am looking forward to another great semester with the new staffs and new editors. The editors (Rachael Goynes and Annie Specht) will be posting regularly, so be sure to follow their progress as the magazines develop.

AgriLeader Fall 2010

The new issues (print and EZine) of the AgriLeader are almost ready for distribution. We hope that you enjoy the new material. We would love to hear feedback from our readers.

Meet the AgriLeader Print Staff!

The AgriLeader Print Staff photo was taken today in front of the A&M Foundation's fountains. I thought it was a fun photo and I'd like to share it:

Thanks to Jon Eilts, our photography manager, for taking such a great picture.

Final layouts for both magazines are due this Thursday. The staff will get one more chance to revise and edit their layouts and present them in their final portfolios at the end of the semester. We are in crunch time and are working hard to get the magazine to print on time!

Thanks and gig 'em!

Howdy!

Howdy!
I apologize for the lack of postings, but welcome to the ezine editor's blog for Spring 2010! Things are up and running and crunch time is quickly approaching. Final stories are due on Tuesday, so I anticipate quite a few stories coming my way this weekend asking for edits. Kate and I are working on the preliminary layout of the magazine already, and we've already got quite a bit in already. Luckily, we've been working on several individual pieces ahead of time, so we're even slightly ahead of schedule. Who knows how long that will last, but it's nice to know right now.

I'm still so excited about this magazine. It has so much potential, and the staff is great. Even though some of the editorial staff is inexperienced (just meaning that they haven't taken AgriLeader before), they are doing a great job. I really wish I didn't have other classes to get in the way sometimes. I really do think that this is what I want to do "when I grow up."

Hopefully, things will keep going smoothly, and I'll keep you updated!

Thanks and Gig 'Em,
Kasey Miller
Ezine Editor-in-chief

Coming Together

As the semester continues, so does the work on the AgriLeader magazine. We are in full swing now, working on our feature story and short story layouts, our photos, our captions and trying to tie it all together in a creative "package."

{we heart it}

Like so many things, we are making progress. Layout drafts are due in two days and soon after that, final layouts will be due for placing in the magazine. Before you know it, we will be making the final touches on the AgriLeader and it will be on its way to the printer!

InDesign Tip: Press "Ctrl" while resizing a picture to avoid accidentally cropping it.
