Mashable MagMagazine Publishing / Spring 2012 / Drake University
For the magazine publishing class, we had to choose a company to “sponsor”
our magazine, then develop a business plan and design strategy for the
magazine. I chose to create Mashable magazine in digital version. This was
one of my first experiences with interaction design.
