LA+ Journal

Catalog description

LA+ (Landscape Architecture Plus) is a professional, academic journal produced out of the Weitzman School that explores landscape architecture’s interdisciplinary potential. Each semester, three to four students are selected as LA+ production team members and are responsible for researching, proposing, and producing the journal’s graphic content.* Designing an issue of LA+ can be very rewarding and production team members gain valuable skills and experience in graphic design, image creation, and image copyright that can help prepare them for careers in a number of professional creative environments. Students selected to participate in an LA+ production team will complete 1 CU of work, spread over two semesters. Even numbered issues begin in the Fall and conclude in the Spring. Odd numbered issues begin in the Spring and conclude in the Fall. Students work closely with the editor and LA+ production staff to produce the issue. Student work on the journal during the semester is planned so as not to unduly interfere with studio travel, reviews, or end-of-semester deadlines. LA+ pinups are scheduled on weekends. * Production team members do not have any editorial responsibilities – the journal’s written content is finalized prior to the design and production phase. This course is only open to students who already have been accepted to work on the LA+ Journal. No other permit requests will be approved.
