MAGAZINEVIA

Via Magazine is a travel magazine that focuses on traveling the US on a budget and on the main paths of travel. In this issue VIA focuses on upcom-ing summer travels and warm weather activities. Inspired by real life experi-ences and the authentic traveler.

VIA MEANS “TRAVELING THROUGH (A PLACE) EN ROUTE TO A DESTINATION.” WE HOPE FOR OUR YOUNG READERS TO DISCOVER THEMSELVES THROUGH ADVENTURE.

VIA means “traveling through (a place) en route to a destination.” We hope for our young readers to discover themselves through adventure. WE want you to learn the difference between “direct” and “nonstop” flights, and always opt for the latter. We also want you to make sure you buy your ticket under the your name that also that appears on your ID. It might seem obvious to you that Betsy is a nickname for Elizabeth, but it may not to a skycap, a desk agent, or a security officer―any of whom could ask you to show ID. OTHER passengers might be able to nab those seats 24 hours before the flight, but we hope to teach you you can get the same price as those last minute passagers, without the worry or stress of last minute purchases.

BIG TRIP, BIG BAG, BIG DECISIONS, BIG STRESS. HOW TO KEEP

YOUR STYLE DURING YOUR TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES.

I’ve read my fair share of travel articles, more of which

have provided predictably sensible and boring advice when

it comes to packing for long trips. Like, “bring enough

medication for the duration of your stay, since pharmacies

are hard to find”, or “bring detergent so that you can rinse

out personal garments in the sink.”

OCCASIONALLY I find these eminently practical lists are

There is nothing more stressful, and important,

than packing for a long trip. I’ve read my fair share

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN’T AFFORD off the paris runway

doesn’t mean that you automaticaly have to look like a

homeless woman from queens.

A girl on a budget needs to remember several key things:

ONCE A FRIEND AND I WENT BACKPACKING through

india– which is not the most glamourous terrain, although

less than ideal i still had one “smart garment” packed

and on hand. So amid cargo shorts, comfortable t–shirts,

and gallons of bug spray, I threw in a spiffy Calvin Klein

tuxedo jacket. It’s a good thing I did. While stopped in

the city of Udaipur, we were randomely invited to have

cocktails at the palace of the town’s maharaja. My friend

put on some jewerly and a floaty cocktail dress that she

A) Classic silhouettes never go

out of style if bought correctely;

B) It’s important to invest

C. RENT A HOUSE OR A CONDO. For groups, renting can be a lot cheaper

than paying for the same number of beds

in a hotel. A recent search turned up several

two-bedroom apartments (that sleep at least

four) for around $150–$250 a night for a

single room. Renting is a particularly good

option in smaller destinations where hotels

are scarce, or in major cities where hotels

are ultra-expensive. Visit homeaway.com,

resortquest.com, and interhomeusa.com for

listings in the United States.

If you’re renting and willing to pay 20 to 30

percent more, try using a villa company, like

LaCURE Villas (lacurevillas.com) or Villas of

Distinction (villasofdistinction.com). They

will have inspected each listed home and

can even act as a concierge recommending

specific properties and planning activities.

D. OPT FOR A SMALL HOTEL. “Americans focus way too much on chain

hotels that cater to business travelers and

corporate budgets,” says Tim Leffel, author

of Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune

(Travelers’ Tales, $13, amazon.com).

A. CHECK FARES REGULARLY.

Why? They are finally going down. “In

2008 airlines cut capacity so they were

able to survive without discounting fares

too much,” says Brett Snyder, an airline-

industry veteran and the founder of the blog

crankyflier.com. “But because of the current

economy, we’ll see some price cutting.”

Gas prices are down, so take advantage.

PUBLIC TYPE BOOKA Campus Tour

LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE AND TAKING A WALK TO CAMPUS,

Helvetica is still apparent in a few buildings and street signs but

the type that takes control of most of campus’ building seems to

be Futura. Futura is another popular typeface and it makes sense

that it would appear on many of KU’s buildings. It is easy to read

from any distance and since it is a classic typeface so it will never

look dated on the building, as some of the buildings that might

not have Futura on them.

Rock Chalk! I am the Memorial Stadium

also known as the football stadium. I

love sports, fans and money. People

come here to cheer for KU’s sporting

events. The typography here helps the

fans find information quickly.

Now come on, let’s wave

some wheat.

WAVIN’THE WHEAT

>>SEATING AT MEMORIAL STADIUM.

[]

The directional signage is mostly set in Helvetica di-

recting masses of fans where to go for parking, tickets,

food & beverages, seating etc. These signs direct

many different tasks including; where to sit, stand eat,

purchase and wait. Although there are many different

kinds of signs when placed in the right areas of the

stadium they don’t conflict with each other.

Now you are a true jayhawk, and know everything about ku’s cam-

pus and the public typography it displays, (well almost everything).

You have learned about informational type, directional type, indenti-

fying type, and a few others kind of typography.

Now aren’t you smart.[ [

CHOOSING CHOICES.

Memorial Stadium is located behind the main

campus at KU. The stadium new upgrade in 2008

may have changed the feeling of the old stadium

to new and more modern feel, but the university

has still decided to keep the classics typefaces

while incorporating new signage. The stadium

signage has many different and unique purposes.

The signage is meant to direct the thousands of

people on game day, inform those same people

on various facts including score, and player stats,

as well edcate people with the history of the

stadium with engravings.

The ROCKWELL Alphabet

Rockwell is a serif typeface

belonging to the classifica-

tion slab serif, or Egyptian,

where the serifs are un-

bracketed.

The typeface was designed at the

Monotype foundry’s in-house design

studio in 1934. Slab serifs are similar

in form and in typographic voice to

realist sans-serifs like Akzidenz Grotesk

or Franklin Gothic. Because of its

monoweighted stroke, Rockwell is used

primarily for display rather than lengthy

bodies of text. This an ideal typeface for

the Memorial Stadium football field.
