Get to grips with how your own student magazine is produced and put your new skills into practice by pitching your work for our upcoming print magazine – The FRESHERS Issue. You can also choose to use this opportunity to work on your own independent magazine project ideas and receive feedback.

On campus and online sessions will feature beginner-level interactive exercises covering the entire editorial and production process and additional resources including LinkedIn Learning will enable you to build your skills at your own pace, in your own time.

aAh!’s writing and content briefs will include features, profiles, how-tos, Q&As, previews, reviews, listicles, photography, illustration and more, based around the theme “FRESHERS”. You will then work alongside our Graphic Design Collective and be supported to design print magazine spreads using Adobe InDesign and pitch your work to be considered for publication.

The FRESHERS Issue Brief
