Snowbirds in Quartzsite launches.

Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized

My magazine project is complete. (This is when I’m told it’s safe to breathe again.)

One main multimedia piece. One photo gallery. One embedded map. One time-lapse. One website. All in the blur of one quarter.

It was the class of ones for me.

One step at a time, I wore the many hats that the class calls upon you to wear. I was the publisher who wrote the mission statement for my publication. I was the assignment editor who researched and wrote up the shooting assignments. I was the photojournalist out in the field shooting, which was the highlight even if it left me exhausted. After shooting came the tedious world of production and editing. Days spent hacking away at php files and hours cutting audio and video.

It’s a great(well somewhat great not fully satisfied with things, but who ever is?) feeling to see the end product and how all the hats eventually brought us to one uniform package. It’s no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, but it’s a quarter I’ll never forget.

It doesn’t feel like I’m done yet, but hopefully tomorrow when we have our show and tell I’ll be able to look at everything my classmates and I accomplished and be proud of what we did.

Is it on caliber with the multimedia newspapers produce? Hopefully.

See what you think for yourself.

    Thom & I both think it’s great. Of course, it’s an article on something near and dear to our hearts, but, all in all, we think you did a very good job of peaking peoples interest in Quartzsite in a quite limited amount of time. Congrats kid! HUGS
