Have you been swimming in class notes and page counts? Searching for just the right cover shot? Trying to figure out how on earth to get your beautiful print magazine onto the web?
As the Creative Director of Marketing at Utah Valley University and the Art Director of the UVU Magazine, Matt Bambrough has been there. As he tells it, "We have a very talented team and have a lot of creative people that contribute to the final project. I work directly with the editor and all of the designers, photographers, and illustrators. I love doing editorial design, it is one of the favorite things about my job, and I am continually trying to make things better. It is always changing and evolving."
Matt has also proven he's pretty talented. He's the recipient of several UCDA Design Competition Awards. Last year alone he won Awards of Excellence for both Recruitment/Other, Magazine-Complete Unit, and Magazine-Editorial Spread.
When I asked him about presenting at this year's conference, Matt was instantly interested. They completed a redesign in 2008, and they're implementing a new approach to moving the magazine online. It sounds like there's always something interesting going on. As Matt puts it, "It is always changing and evolving and hopefully getting better."
So if you're looking for a relevant, useful case study of a successful higher ed magazine, you need to be in Minneapolis this October! Learn more about the conference and see what other breakouts will interest you: http://ucda.com/breakoutsessions10.lasso
