Abstract:
Celtic Traveler is an online magazine targeting Americans who are interested in Celtic and Early Christian travel and history, particularly in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The "proof of concept" issue I produced is for for March 2005. Because of St. Patrick's Day, March is the magazine's annual issue that focuses on Ireland exclusively.The site includes a cover, contents page, editor's note, letters to the editor page, three "destination" travel articles, a how-to article, a book review, and a review of a travel gadget. Each article has text, of course, but many have photos, explanatory graphics, videos, or audio content as well. The site is built as though a subscription is required to access content, but of course, that is not the case for this "proof of concept" issue.I created this site as my individual project for a seminar at the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry. The class spent two weeks doing research in Ireland and created a 10-part radio documentary that aired on Indiana Public Radio.
