CORVALLIS ATHLETICS MAGAZINE
2022 | Printed Media Project
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
the GOAL OF THE project was to create a magazine ABOUT CORVALLIS, OREGON. I WANTED TO RESEARCH facilities and establishments THAT service athletics, fitness, & physical health. MY GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE TO THOSE THAT WANTED TO KNOW WHAT CORVALLIS OFFERED OUTSIDE OF OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY'S FACILITIES.
PROBLEM
BEYOND OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY, THERE WAS NO ONE-STOP SOURCE THAT PROVIDED INFORMATION of ATHLETIC & FITNESS FACILITIES LOCATED IN THE AREA.
SOLUTION
CREATE A MAGAZINE THAT HIGHLIGHTS WHERE PEOPLE CAN LOOK TO START THEIR NEW FITNESS ADVENTURE. THIS WAS A WAY TO GIVE SMALL ATHLETIC & FITNESS BUSINESSES AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH MORE CUSTOMERS.
