Jacob Smith: Blog #4

What a difference since the last blog. Since then, we’ve been carrying out shows on a super consistent basis. We’re operating under a normal schedule that has been going so very smoothly. I was even able to host a one-off (maybe) show of my own and it was such a...

Jacob Smith: Blog #3

We did it! Woo!! The issue has finally been resolved and I am so beyond happy to say that. After speaking with Mixlr Support and not having any luck with the tips they provided, I was beginning to lose hope. Thankfully though, as mentioned in the last blog post, the...

Jacob Smith: Blog #2

Currently, the station is still out of service. The past several weeks have consisted of various accounts of troubleshooting. I have been in contact with both the school’s IT department and Mixlr’s support. Mixlr has provided some advice but none of it has been enough...

Thesis day is finally in sight and so is the bittersweet end to my project. I have all of the pages laid out in InDesign, and the cover ready to go (cover reveal soon to come on the zine’s Instagram!). I’ve gotten feedback from a few friends and professors so at this...

Conrad Shmidt: Blog #3

Recently, I did a lot of work on the social media aspect of the magazine, and this past week I mostly worked with my contributors to make sure their articles were getting in on time. Right now I have six contributors, and I just got confirmation for a seventh! I was a...

Conrad Shmidt: Blog #2

This project has been making me so happy! I took a little break last week to focus on my other classes, and I was worried that I would start to fall behind but I’m glad I did so much groundwork in the beginning stages, because I was able to get back into things this...

Conrad Shmidt: Blog #1

So far, things are going really well with my project. I’ve confirmed about 5 contributors so far that will be writing for my magazine, Limelight Magazine, and they’re each planning to contribute 1-3 articles. Some people are just contributing 1, while others came with...
