Final Project: Create your own psychology magazine!
You will serve as editor-in-chief of your own magazine, covering topics in the field of psychology. We will begin to develop the content together in class, but you will need to do research and compose your articles, etc. on your own time. We will also spend some time in the Mac Lab to address the graphic design component of the assignment. Remember: This project will serve as your final exam, and thus will be weighted as 20% of your Spring term average.
Requirements:
1. Must be ten pages, total. This includes front cover and back cover.
2. Front cover in magazine style: Dominant photo, title, subheadings, etc.
3. Table of contents with credits to all authors and editorial staff.
4. One-page advice column. You must answer the "readers'" questions based on research and psychological principles.
5. Two pages of relevant advertisements.
6. One one-page editorial article on a controversial topic in the field.
7. One one-page review of a scholarly research article. I will help you find an appropriate article to use for this.
8. One 1/2 page feature on a notable contributor to the field of psychology, past or present.
You may fill the rest of the content with other appropriate content, such as an original cartoon, a book or movie review, product recommendations, relevant news and current events, etc.
Additionally, you may fill up to one page of content with material provided by one of your classmates. However, you may not use articles or content provided from a contributor to fill one of the requirements listed above.
