I have an idea for my second project. I'm announcing my rough ideas now so I can save a little time from explaining it in our crit on Thursday when I hope to show some graphic ideas for it. I'm doing a magazine on beer, and my initial plan is to call the magazine BREW. I took Magazine Design last semester with Bert, so I'm hoping to leverage some of that experience. I think this is a great opportunity...colors are nice and fall-like. Deep dark browns, tans, ambers, blondes, etc. Departments might include "Regional favorites", "Brewery Spotlight", "Recipes", etc...I need to do some additional brainstorming to flesh-out some other ideas...but the thoughts are flowing on this.
I'm pretty excited about the possibilities and I think it would lend itself to a web presence as well...we'll see where this goes.

Originally I was thinking this would be an International mag, but now I'm thinking this is a US mag, and maybe have an additional Department featuring overseas beer. That could even by a feature article...what region the beer is from, the process that's used to make it, how it is served, where it is distributed, what foods it goes best with, etc...ideas abound!
Check out Mid-Atlantic Brewing News & Modern Drunkard. Two nice examples of beer related periodicals. MD is web only now, something worth considering in regards to green issues.
