I will provide you an example of this issue as you start working on it.
You will be designing a special issue of The Pitch
, a local KC magazine highlighting area news, food, music, arts and entertainment. This eight page issue will be a “BEST OF KC” guide to either food/drink, music, or arts/entertainment. You choose which ONE topic to focus on.
NOTE that The Pitch is a contemporary, often “edgy” magazine with a specific audience (young, hip, urban, etc). Your design decisions should reflect this audience.

• 8 – 8.5 x 11 pages (front and back cover each count as one page)
