<p><span class="font-size-3">Did you enjoy the video of the Hopkins/Baumann combined work-living space in Minneapolis? Isn't it amazing? Told you!</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058814730?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058814730?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Mary Baumann and Will Hopkins collect beautiful ceramics, brushes, and b/w photography (you've seen those in the video), but they also have another fun and surprising collection, one that I absolutely love: TOYS! This image shows just a small part of the collection. They have toys tucked away in surprising places all throughout their apartment. You can find them in various nooks and crannies, sometimes almost camouflaged in the brickwork, and sometimes high up on a wall, almost out of sight. As I was walking around their place I stumbled on groupings of toys by accident. Great sense of humor. You know how I like that.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815509?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815509?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">One last image I want to share with you about the space itself before we move on to the design aspect. This specific feature of the space could not be seen in the video because everyone was working on it: the dining room table can be moved along the tracks in the floor. If there's a party going on that needs to accommodate a lot of people, or if Mary and Will simply want to sit somewhere else than in the kitchen, the table moves on its tracks all the way from the dining area to their work space. Genius!<br/></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Let's move on to how the layout is done. The next image shows you a basic overview of the June/July issue everybody was working on. As you can see, this is a simple but effective way to keep track of what's been put in place where. The yellow areas are advertising spaces.<br/></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058814496?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058814496?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Pagination (page numbers) usually change several times over the course of the design process. It is actually the last thing that is nailed down. Mary explained that they do that last to allow for optimal visual flow in the magazine, sometimes segments need to be shifted around.<br/></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815244?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815244?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Designer Mary Baumann at her desk working on layout.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058812603?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058812603?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Looking directly at Mary's computer: In essence, the magazine is laid out on a grid which allows for consistent alignment of text and images. The above images shows a typical grid.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815271?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815271?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Mary, Will, and Chelsea work on a 12 line grid without horizontal lines, which gives them more freedom to arrange images and text.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815155?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815155?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Here you can see how easily images and text can be moved around and be realigned any which way on the 12 line grid.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058811080?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058811080?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">The designers work with set templates style sheets for the different segments of the magazine to keep things consistent with typographics and layout. You don't want to reinvent the wheel with every issue, but some creative freedom is possible if things need to be adjusted.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058811340?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058811340?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Just in case you think designing is all fun and games, a simple drop click and done, here's a</span> <span class="font-size-3">small window into the painstaking process of every single page. This process constantly overlaps, people are working on various pages at once and in different shifts. The whole process is completely fluid but basically follows these rules:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">(1) A preliminary first layout is done with images (not yet optimized for print) and texts approved by the editors. Ensuring images are placed inside blue lines. Tiffs are preferred over PDFs! Saved as L1. Returned to the magazine editors for review.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815774?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815774?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">(2) The editors look through the preliminary layout, add headlines and sub headlines, captions, fit the text, add photo credits. Return to designers electronically as R (1-3 depending on editing phase.)</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">(3) Changes are implemented by designers. Photos are optimized and put in place. Returned electronically to magazine editors as L2.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">(4) Magazine editors check and approve.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">(5) Magazine is printed at office in final form (on a copier), page numbers get assigned.</span></p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815332?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058815332?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">(6) Once layout and editing phase is over, the magazine files are sent to pre-press and a final layout is generated. Preferably, all edits and changes have been made before the files go to pre-press because all changes done subsequently cost money.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">(7) Pre-press print out is checked one last time, then all files are compressed and sent to press. The magazine is now in print! Whew.<br/></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058812979?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1058812979?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Quintessential office tool that gets this major design job done? The printer. An absolute monster. Don't know how anything could be accomplished without it.<br/></span></p>

She is also looking for any unintended consequences to changes that were made, i.e. words slipping into a new line and other issues. Lots of red pencil remarks and little post-it notes scattered everywhere.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">With various rounds of edits going on simultaneously, an article is deemed “final” once every editor has made their corrections to the article page, all those edits have been entered into the computer, and the most recent paper printout of a page does not reveal any lingering issues. Once every editor signs off on the FINAL page, it goes to pre-print.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Many rounds of very detail-oriented reading. You have to really understand the material and the artists to catch mistakes. Sometimes the detail seems insignificant, but it isn't.</span></p>

Never fun. Only good thing is my trusted driver, Ibrahim. A Coptic Christian from Egypt, he has amazing stories to tell. First met him a few years ago as an Uber driver and he's been driving me ever since. Always shows up 15 minutes BEFORE his appointment. Never late, not even at 4am. Love it.</span></span></p>

<p><span title="Edited"><span class="font-size-3">Is there anything more depressing and woefully non-designed than an airport waiting area? At least I am not flying United today. Small favors. If anyone is at O'Hare right now, come see me at gate K16! I need some cheering up. Dull. Duller. Dullest.</span></span></p>

<p><span class="font-size-3" title="Edited">And then a pleasant surprise: <span title="Edited">a special curb just for app-based ride shares! This is so much better and faster than in Chicago where the taxis put up one big hissie fit after the other to avoid the competition. Nice going, Minneapolis!</span></span></p>

<p><span><span class="font-size-3">Home for the next few days: A cute little AirBnB in the Minneapolis Uptown area.</span> <br/> <span class="font-size-3">There's a grocery store just 2 blocks down where I'm now headed. I need coffee and some breakfast stuff, then I'm going to set up base camp here to get some work done after I've been out all day! This is going to work out real we</span>ll.</span></p>

<p><span><span class="font-size-3">It's raining right now, but IDC. Tomorrow is a full day at the magazine.</span> <br/></span></p>

<p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>This is what I think is going to happen:</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Magazine editors and designers are going to gather at a secret location somewhere in Minneapolis, MN. With computers on every surface and the latest issue of Merriam-Webster at hand, they will duke it out over commas vs. semicolons and what the correct answer is to who said what, when, where, and why. What photos to use for the article and where to place them on the page? Which image tells the story best? </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Well, apparently, my assumptions are not too far off. I asked Monica Moses, editor in chief of the magazine, and she explained things to me this way: “I guess I just think the process is very nerdy. Most people probably don't realize how much effort it takes to prevent mistakes and assure clarity in a publication. Sometimes we talk about very, very minute things. ("Do you think that angel dancing on the head of a pin is 5'2" or 5'3"? Would you describe her as blond or towhead?") But it's all important. And sometimes, in discussing something seemingly tiny and innocuous, you discover a big problem.” </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Alright then.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"> I am letting you all in on this a few days ahead time so that you can ask any question you may have about the whole magazine editing and closing process. What do you want to know? Post in the comment section if you are a crafthaus member, or email me via crafthauseditor at gmail dot com.</span></p>
