CLIENT BRIEF
To Whom It May Concern:

The staff of Union University’s Literary Arts Magazine, The Torch, requests a proposal for a design editor for the 2011 edition of the Torch. We are looking for an original design that work to complement both the text and the visual elements in a literary arts magazine. We are not interested in Torch imagery, Olympic themes, gender-specific artwork, or designs including photographs of real individuals.

Each design should include the following elements: page numbers, table of contents, and a biography page. The cover design should include the following items: date, name of the magazine, and the words “literary arts magazine” and “Union University.”

The individual whose design is selected must be available and willing to work with the Torch Staff to improve the design, input content, finalize changes on the magazine, and go with the Torch Staff to explain the design to the printers. He or she will be on call from April 11-15. All dates are subject to change.

Thank you in advance,

Kate Cline
Editor
The Torch Staff
