Buzz

As the final project of my MSc in Magazine Publishing, I was part of a team of students that were instructed to create a new edition of Buzz, a student-led magazine that had been running for a number of years. I was chosen to be the Editor of the magazine which involved leading, driving and co-ordinating the project. As well as being heavily involved in the writing and editing process, my role included many managerial tasks such as critical email correspondence, liaising with PR representatives, photographers and members of the Buzz team, and chasing copy and imagery. I also spent time designing spreads and working with the design team to reinforce the overall vision of the magazine so as to ensure that the partnership between design and content was harmonious.

A digital version of the full magazine can be viewed below and here.

Buzz magazine is produced once a year by the students on the MSc Publishing course at Edinburgh Napier University. We are aimed at 'millennials'; those aged 20-30 with a disposable income. This year's magazine focuses on the wonderful people of Edinburgh!
