Graphics Needed for Print Issue!
Spend some time this break drawing for your newspaper!
Hey everyone!
I hope your break is starting out amazingly! This week, for our print issue, we have four graphics to be assigned to you incredible artists. If you’d like to claim a graphic, reach out to me (Carleen) at graphics@theconcordian.com (or feel free to reach out about anything else, too!)
All the graphics below are due back Sunday, March 3rd at noon.
Title: Life as a Mature Student
Description: An opinion piece about being a student in their mid-30s at Concordia, focusing on the unique timing of everyone’s lives.
Suggestion: A group of students chatting, with a couple of them noticeably older, and one of them carrying a baby.
Title: The Problem with Leap Year Birthdays
Description: A piece about peoples’ unique bureaucratic problems due to having a leap-year birthday (February 29th, occurring once every 1,461 days!)
Suggestion: A computer screen with an account creation page open — it’s saying “Error: invalid birthdate” in red.
Title: Focusing on the Lyrics Vs. The Beat of a Song
Description: Interviews focusing on peoples’ tendency to focus on lyrics vs. instrumentals of a song, and the reasons behind this.
Suggestion: This one could be kind of abstract, with some floating shapes, colours, and strings of words!
Title: “Deadline” Short Story
Description: A beautiful, poetic short story about the stress of submitting an assignment on-time, from both a student’s and a personified deadline’s perspective.
Suggestion: There are two characters in this short story, so it could be fun to illustrate them both — alternatively, a student working in an gothic/black-and-white study (or something else, I can send you the story!)
That’s all for this week! If you’d like to draw for one of the articles above, be sure to shoot me an email at graphics@theconcordian.com. Otherwise, to be added to our list of graphics contributors, click here.
Thanks so much, have a great break, everyone!
