content: A design proof of the first issue of the newsletter Black Diaspora Portfolio: Architecture and Design. The newsletter is a single sheet folded once into four pages. The layout, design, and graphics for the publication are all present, but most of the text is Lorem ipsum placeholder. The cover story, titled "Millenium Viewpoints," uses placeholder text but includes images of buildings designed by Philip C. Johnson, F. Chris Lee, Goudiaby Atepa, John S. Chase, Annette Fisher, and Paul R. Williams. The "FYI" sidebar on the first page includes headings for Kudos, Events, Competitions, and Exhibitions. The centerfold groups images of architecture into three geographic areas with subheadings: African Americans (United States, Jamaica, Brazil), Africans (Senegal, Cameron[sic], Ghana), and Afro-Europeans (Netherlands, France). The back page is set for an interview with Charles F. McAfee. Sidebars at right list online architectural resources and a note on the Great Zimbabwe ruins. Sidebar at bottom left includes a list of print and software resources.
