WVSU Student Juried Exhibition

The State of State 2011 WVSU Student Juried Exhibition

Restaurant Reviews

Hello,

Sorry I missed class. Anyway I am going to Little India and Tricky Fish this weekend, so I will be focusing on those two restaurants. I plan on taking some photos while I am there, and although I am not going to Atmosphere again this weekend I already have some photos from there. I talked to Melissa about going to Slice so I can look into that as well. Natalie said she would like to have her comic in the zine, but she may just submit something she has already created.

Events for Calendar

Hey Guys. As a comment to this post, post the events you know about in the Charleston Metro area that are happening between now and the end of August.

Logo Idea

This is my sample logo idea. Feel free to comment on it, steal parts of it for your idea, or reject it completeley. We can change color, font, size, or even the whole concept. I just thought it would be cool to have an outline of WV and a magnifying glass placed over the Charleston Metro area. Inside the magnifying glass it would be cool to have a close up map of the Charleston area. So that is what I did. I just now see that "area" is a bit difficult to read so I will need to move that part down a little, but not right now :)

Article ideas

1. I second the notion of the Art walk being a feature. I think it has become a staple in the art community and there are plenty of local artist to feature. I would love to take some photos as well.

2. The annual East End yard sale is coming up in the beginning of May. This would make a good topic to cover.

3. Festivall will be gearing up for June. Posting of events should start coming out soon.

4. The East End garden tour will be held in May.

5. International Master Gardeners Conference will be held in Charleston WV 2011.

Article Ideas

Below are three ideas I have for articles/pieces I would like to cover. If these don't work let me know and I can come up with more.

1. I would like to work on the calendar of events for the zine. If someone else wanted to help or eveyone contribute and I combine the stuff that is coool as well.


2. My other idea for an article is to cover the artwalk coming up. I could do an overall piece on what it was like while spotlighting some of the arttists in the same article.


3. My final article idea to review one or a couple of local rsturants such as: Pies&Pints, Tricky Fish, Lola's, etc.

Welcome

Hello all!

I have designed this blog to give us a bit more of a platform to discuss and build our class Zine. This should make it easier to brainstorm, edit and work together to create. As a class we decided that our Zine would be centered around the Charleston Metro area with a calendar of upcoming events, profiles on local art/artists, writers, musicians and festivals as well as some opinion pieces about local and current events.

We also decided on an editorial board as follows:

Editor in Chief: Christie Linger
Articles and Copy Editor: Casey Guet
Photography Editor: Melissa Hines
Layout: ?

Maribel, Tabitha and Jameyia you will need to decide what role you would like to play. Usually we have had more than one photography, articles and layout editors, so decide where you would like to play a part and let me know, most likely you can just comment here.

I have invited all of you to be contributors on this blog, so you should have no problem posting here. Blogger is pretty easy, so if you have any trouble just shoot me an email.

For this weekend I would like everyone to think about a story that they would like to write for the zine and post a proposal for that story here as a new post. I would also like you all to start thinking about layout and the design of a logo.

We will meet Tuesday in A315!

Have a good weekend!
