Pic-Around-the Globe
Welcome to our digital magazine: Pic-Around the Globe. In this project we will be writers, editors, designers and reporters travelling around the Globe to present some of the wonders in the world around us.
Our digital magazine should be (will be) attractive and visual but also rigorous with the scientific contents.
Get ready and sharpen your (digital) pens. The truth is out there.
OUR MAGAZINE: GUIDELINES
During the next weeks, we will be working as editorial teams to prepare THREE articles for our magazine. All our articles should:
Be written in first person: you are the reporters travelling to different locations and you will be telling your own experience.
YES to imagination but NO to scientific inaccuracies: you may create the narrative to explain the Science in the article but you need to be careful and rigorous with the scientific facts and data.
Include pictures and images: our articles should be as attractive and visual as possible.
Be written in English and Spanish: at least half of the article should be prepared in English.
Be properly formatted and carefully checked for typos and ortograhic mistakes.
Be delivered BEFORE the due date that will be set for each of them.
You may find here an example of the final result we want and a also a template to be used for the next three articles.
