c ee An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Lauren A. Turner Thesis Advisor: Pam Leidig-Farmen Ball State University Muncie, IN May 2001 Graduation Date: May 9,2009 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Ball State University journalism and the Honors College for giving me the opportunity to do a project like this. This piece will certainly be a great addition to my portfolio and will help me in seeking a job in the future. I would also like to thank my advisor, Pam Leidig-Farmen, for teaching me all the skills I used in this project and for advising me. You were always very honest with me, which made me a better designer. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for all the support they have given me during my college career. Abstract Ecochic is a print and online publication that strives to promote an eco-friendly lifestyle. With articles on beauty, fashion and cooking, everyone is sure to find something they will enjoy. Creator and publisher Ali Turner's mission is to let women know that a responsible, sustainable life is an attainable life, and that going green doesn't mean spending green. Keep it stylish. Keep it simple. Keep it ecochic. Artist's Statement The Idea When I was deciding what I wanted to do for my thesis project, I decided to do something creative. After all, I was only taking three classes, and none of them offered me the chance to apply what I have learned on a larger scale. I wanted to do something that would both impress future employers and meet my desire for creativity. After much consideration, I decided to produce a magazine. I had taken a magazine design class my junior year, and it was one of my most interesting classes at Ball State. One of my favorite professors, Pam Leidig-Farmen, had taught the class, and I knew I wanted to have her as my thesis advisor. Luckily, she said yes before we left for Christmas break. I had my advisor; I had only to pick a topic for my publication, which was also an easy choice. Living an eco-friendly lifestyle has been an interest of mine for two years. For my magazine design class, a partner and I created a 28-page magazine dedicated to the 'green' movement. I enjoyed writing the content for our magazine, Vert, and grew very attached to the cause. This time, however, I would be creating this publication without a partner, which is quite an undertaking. The absence of a partner was not a terrible thing, though. For this project, I was able to make all editorial and design decisions. My product would have a cohesive look that showcased my abilities and creative mind. I had my idea, but it was time to get my vision approved. After meeting with Dr. Emert, I decided that in addition to my publication, I needed to create a web site for my magazine. I have limited web experience, but the chance to learn how to use Web programs would be beneficial in my field. I decided to shrink my planned 32-page magazine to a 28-page magazine and use the stories I had written for those pages as additional web content. The Process The ftrst week of class was my 'planning phase.' There are many things new publications must do in order to launch a magazine. For any publication, the publishers have to define their target audience. I had to decide for whom I wanted to write and design. After much consideration, I decided to target people like me: 18-30-year old women who have a strong interest in fashion, beauty and the environment. I wanted the publication to be relevant for those who are just starting their sustainable lifestyle or for seasoned environmentalists. My target audience influenced every decision I made. The design, color scheme, editorial content, advertisements, and featured products all had to appeal to this age group. Before I began designing my magazine, I needed to create a style sheet. Style sheets include all the typefaces, colors and section titles of the publication and serve as a guide to designers. Developing a style sheet ensures that the magazine will have a cohesive look and makes the placement process easy. I decided to use a mix of serif (didot) and sans serif (Helvetica neue) typefaces to create a feeling of modern simplicity and vintage charm. My color palette included soft neutrals and pastels that would reflect the natural and modern design I had planned. The most tedious part of producing any publication is the writing and editing process. I had to inject my personality into the publication, but could not just make a magazine for me. I needed to meet the needs of my audience and ensure that they would be entertained and informed by what I had to say. I decided to have four sections in my publication: Style, Beauty, Nouveau (trends) and Try This. I also planned a feature article about having an eco-friendly wedding. The content was fun to write about, and my interest in the topic kept me on task. Writing the articles took two weeks. By the end of January, I had hit my stride. My enthusiasm and passion for my project was what propelled me to produce good work. As the weeks went on, however, work began piling up. My easy class schedule was not so easy, and my internship at Nuvo in Indianapolis was taking up most of my free time. I knew that I needed to take a few days to catch up on work and focus on other things besides this project. A few days, though, turned into a couple of weeks. I was behind. There was no doubt about it. I knew that in order to complete this project, I had to make the most out of my spring break. Instead of going to the beach, I spent most of my time on my couch working on this project. The nine days, however, were invaluable, and by the time I came back to campus, I had designed 20 pages. Although I wasn't as far along as I wanted to be, I was making good progress. Throughout the design process, I met with my advisor once a week to go over my designs. Her feedback was excellent and encouraging. It was an honor to have someone I respect so much tell me I was doing something right. I learned a great deal from her about design during this project. She helped me make my designs 'breathe' and 'flow.' The most important tips I got from her were about my text size and placement. The things she told me inspired many of my text treatments, and I think that the text is one of the most modem things about my project. With her help, I finished my magazine in early April. However, I still had a web site to create. I've only made two web sites in my college career, neither of which was of the caliber I wanted to achieve in this project. I decided I had to do something different. Most magazine sites reflect the design of the magazine. While mine has the same typefaces and text treatments, there is one big difference. After doing some web research, I found that web pages that have black backgrounds use far less battery power. As any ecochic girl knows, using less battery power equals less charging. Less charging equals less energy. Less energy equals saving the world. Therefore, I decided that my web site would have a black background, something used rarely in publication design. Because I had cut four pages of content from my print version, much of my web content was already produced. I decided, however, to include some articles from the print edition. Most magazine web sites offer print content and exclusive online content on their web pages. I also pulled some articles from other 'green' web sites. These articles were well written and had the same voice my own work had. In order to design my web site, I had to create a template to follow. Using iWeb, an Apple Web program, I designed my template and inserted pictures, articles, and hyperlinks. After deciding on my template, creating the Web site was a matter of copying, pasting, and publishing. The web site's 36 pages were not difficult to create, but did take a lot oftime. The work is tedious and sometimes boring. Despite these issues, I had finished my web site by the last week of classes and was ready to turn in my project. Conclusions Sixteen weeks was not a lot of time for one person to create a full publication and web site. I had to practice good time management skills in order to stay on top of my work. After 16 weeks, though, I have produced a work that has made me proud. If I had 32 weeks, my publication may have been better, but the satisfaction of meeting a tight deadline was half the joy of the project. I was able to test my boundaries and creative skills. I was able to have an idea and see it come to life. I was able to be an editor, writer, designer and publisher. Many students do not have this opportunity. I am lucky to have had an experience that, I believe, will set me above my peers in my job search. Most of all, I am proud of myself, and that is the best assessment I could ever get. ge out of r Wardrobe Special Section Beauty Insi Summer I Ten Easy Tips for (;Uillg C),(, P Il Rf'cess iOll - Proof Style 5 The J('\\ eln Box 6 1..1' \llilll:d 7 8 The Eco- Beauty Insider On the Plait' 12 19 21 22 The Eco-Soc ia lite 24 The (,I'I't'll Top 3 ( J J'( Briel(· Guide 'f' II Cities On the "-l11t'11' ee 4 c Pu iisher Ali Turner Gr-eative Advisor Pam Lei Ig-Farmen ECjONLINE Did you know that Web pages with black backgrounds can save hundreds of megawatt hours a year?
