Notes from Kristen Louie + Ben Rukavina: We recently took a trip to The Improper Bostonian. At the offices of Improper, a powerpoint was prepared for us and we learned about working in a magazine publishing office and how a magazine like the Improper comes to be. We learned about the different aspects of design utilized by the designers working for the magazine. It really helped to show the fact that people who do design do all different sorts of work. The designers here were responsible for designing the magazine along with the event coordinating and marketing. The designers talked with us along with the a Writer, Photo Editor, and the Editor. We learned about how long photo-shoots take and the effort that goes into publishing one magazine.

After the presentation we got a free lunch, pizza from their sponsors, Uppercrust.
