2015 Pub Crawl Wrap-Up

2015 Pub Crawl Wrap-Up

Over 60 students attended our Pub(lications) Crawl on Friday, October 2, 2015, visiting the offices of Entertainment Weekly, Woman's Day, W, Popular Mechanics, Esquire, 8x8, TIME and design firm Segal Savad. You can check out photos from the event on our SPD-U Facebook page here.

It was an incredible day of insights and inspiration. But don't just take our word for it ... hear what the attendees actually had to say...

"It was exactly what I was hoping it would be and a little more. Very well run, and both places were excited to have us, and showed us some really awesome things."

"The tour was amazing! It really reinforced that this is the career path I want to stay on."

"I loved the enthusiasm and positivity shown by the staffs ... you could certainly feel the camaraderie among everyone at both magazines. Everyone whom we met was extremely amiable and open to questions from students."

"Really awesome presenters who seemed to genuinely care about our time with them."

"It was great meeting so many different people who help create the publication, not just the creative directors. It was also really great to have a weekly publication and then a monthly. It was a great experience to see how the two differentiate."

"I really loved it. It got me excited to go home and design things."

Thanks to all of you who attended, and a HUGE thanks to our tour hosts and amazing tour guides: Sergio Capursi, Christine Fink, Ida Garland, Lauren Heffron, Ryan Padgett, Brandon Penny, Adri Ramdeane and Alexa Speyer!!

SPD-U's First Mini-Pub Crawl Completed!

SPD-U's First Mini-Pub Crawl Completed!

For our first-ever Mini-Pub(lications) Crawl event on February 13, a lucky 10 students got an exclusive presentation and tour of the 9Threads Custom Publishing studio from our wonderful hosts Nancy Campbell and Trevett McCandliss of McCandlissandCampbell (shown in the group photo above, center back).

"We started with a slide presentation and then did a Q&A. The students actually stuck around and chatted with us for a while beyond the original end time ... we are always happy to speak to students!" said Nancy. 

9Threads-Presentation.jpg

Trevett agreed: "It was great! We had fun speaking with the students and showing them our work. It's always a pleasure to do anything with SPD!"

Pub(lications) Crawled 2014!

Pub(lications) Crawled 2014!

This was one of the best New York trips our group has ever experienced. Organized, informational and just AWESOME!

That is just one of many comments we received about our 2014 Pub(lications) Crawl event last Friday, September 19. A huge thanks to all of you who joined us for this day-long event touring magazine/publishing art departments. If you missed it, never fear! We've got a few more smaller events planned for later this fall and spring, and then of course, there's always next year.

I loved that every one was so nice ... also the handouts and free goodies. I thought it was a special treat since I could read some of the material on the way back home. They're also good tools at comparing and looking at my own work and seeing what I need to improve or embellish on.

We also want to extend a SUPER-HUGE thanks to our wonderful tour hosts: Bloomberg Businessweek, Esquire, Martha Stewart Living, More, Sports Illustrated, Travel + Leisure and 29th Street Publishing

Being able to tour such well-known magazine firms was very inspirational and felt like a privilege.

Check out some more images from the day on our Facebook page.

Come Join Our 2012 Pub(lications) Crawl: Sept. 28

Start off the 2012-13 academic year right with our Pub(lications) Crawl! Pub Crawl is an annual day-long event where you'll get to tour the offices of two fantastic magazines for an in-depth look at the way things really work. 

This year we're visiting Men's Health, The Huffington Post, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Inked, People en Español and Seventeen magazines, all ready to give you behind-the-scenes access. You'll see their offices and hear how the pages come to life. Check out wrap-ups and reviews from our previous Pub Crawls here, here and here.

The event is scheduled for a Friday (September 28) to make it easier to get out of class ... this is hard-core research for your career, so convince those professors to excuse your absence ... or maybe you can bring your whole class!

Space is very limited, so RSVP to reserve your spot now. All the details after the jump.

Pub Crawl Wrap-Up

Our Pub(lications) Crawl event last Friday was a huge success, touring the offices of Parents, Money, Maxim, Time, Billboard and the brand-new HGTV Magazine. Our Pub Crawl students got their own first-hand peek at the premiere issue and how it came together, but if you weren't able to join us, you can get your own mini-Pub Crawl thru HGTV Magazine's very own documentary showing on the HGTV Channel on October 7 at 9pm. In the meantime, check out some more of our tour pictures after the jump.

Awesome Office Tours

Space is starting to fill up for our Pub(lications) Crawl event on Friday, September 30, where you get personalized tours at the offices of 6 top magazines. TIME, Maxim, Parents, Money, Billboard and even the yet-to-be-published HGTV magazine are all ready and waiting to give you a sneak peek into how they work and how their publications come together. Even if you're not in the NYC area, this is one event that is worth a trip.

You'll be in small tour groups and will be able to ask your tour guides all the questions you want, so hurry up and ask your professors for permission to miss Friday classes. Sign up asap since tours are given on a first-come, first-serve basis (you'll get confirmation of which tour you get a few days before the event). All the details here.

The 2011 PUB(lications) CRAWL: It's On.

Our Pub(lications) Crawl is a day-long event where you'll get to tour the offices of two fantastic magazines for an in-depth look at the way things really work. This year we're visiting Billboard, HGTV Magazine (a startup!), Maxim, Money, Parents and TIME magazines -- all ready to give you behind-the-scenes access to the real workings of a major magazine.

This year, we specifically scheduled it for a Friday early in the semester when you can (we hope!) coax your professor into excusing your absence, or bringing your whole class along too! Come armed with your curiosity and questions, and prepare yourself for a very unique tour of great magazine-making. Space is very limited, so RSVP to reserve your spot after the jump...

For those of you who will be attending, we've got some trivia questions:
 
• Which of the magazines we'll visit (shown above) once published a multi-part graphic novel in every edition?
 
• Which is published under a different title in Australia, because its name was already taken by a lad's mag that features scantily clad women?
 
• Which was started by a former stockbroker?
 
Think you know the answers? Find out for sure next Friday! Sign up here.
