Something I've mentioned before is the UPJ's literary magazine, Backroads. I'm the Art Editor and am very excited for upcoming work with this club! Something I'll be somewhat in charge of is the website, promotion, and some of the artsy stuff. Exhibit A being flyers!
...
What I'm posting about this week is the celebration of collaboration, much like my post last week about using Pinterest as a collaborative medium. This magazine is made up of student or faculty submissions in poetry, photography, prose, and art. We also have a website not only to archive, but to display student work that can't be on print like music, video, or other digital art. We publish it yearly after gathering and voting on submissions.
Right now we are in the phases of calling for submissions, holding events, and fundraising. I was put to work at developing some more stand-out ads to catch interest before I develop more informative flyers and eventually a poster.
This has actually given me a great opportunity to play with more digital art platforms. The vague brushstroke backgrounds were my own quick creation and the middle poster used to be my own artwork until my Autodesk Sketchbook app started bugging out. Now there is a placeholder drawing that I will soon replace with a drawing of my own. After all, we are a club centered around celebrating the creativity and skills of students.
UPDATE: If someone were glancing at this post and my blog you would think I am obsessed with pinks and yellows (ironically, my favorite colors are black and grey). Really I was just looking for colors that pop against our class buildings' dingy blue walls and the sea of blue and gold pageantry.
