Student Opportunity
from Mirage 2017
Would you like to help with next year’s issue?
Students have the opportunity to participate in all phases of producing the Mirage.
This includes:
• Forming a plan for the original design of the current year’s magazine; • Learning about copyright law and how it applies to written and visual submissions; • Learning to analyze art submissions (with an emphasis on photography) and literary submissions and producing a written analysis for each; • Practicing graphic design through programs such as InDesign and Photoshop for the production of a call for submissions flyer, the magazine, and for publicity materials for the magazine and for the class; • Learning about the printing process and budgets; • Communicating with writers and artists about revisions requested by the committee and about acceptance or rejection of their submissions; • Participating in meetings with the committee; • Entering and updating information in the magazine through the drafting process—this includes helping to decide on how accepted art and written work are arranged in the magazine; • Participating in the editing process, beginning with the committee meeting that begins the process and ending with the final, edited draft that gets sent to the printer; • Working to schedule the Fall reception for Mirage contributors and to create an invitation for it; • Working to generate new ideas for increasing student and community participation in the magazine.
