LETTER FROM THE DESIGN CHIEF

Dear reader,

From the start of my journey in A-Line over two years ago, to serving as Design Chief in my last semester, I can attest to the incredible impact that this organization has had on my creative journey. A-Line has been a home where I have pushed my own limits and gained the confidence I needed to excel beyond what I thought to be my reality as a designer. REM. This latest issue is a testament to the overwhelming amount of passion that comes from A-Line. This print issue pays witness to the incredible creativity of our members, and I am honored to have been a part of bringing our work to life. To my design team, I hope it is evident how much I believe in your abilities to create, and I can’t wait to watch each of you break the boundaries of what you believe you are capable of. Lastly, I want to thank the readers of REM for taking the time to explore this issue. I hope it inspired you to think differently, to question what you know, and push the boundaries of what is possible.

To shattering limitations,

Anna Keller Design Chief

Letter From The Photography Chief

Dear reader,

A-Line Magazine has opened my eyes to something I would have never expected to find here at Texas A&M. I am lucky to be surrounded by such gifted, creative people. Photography has always been a great passion of mine and expressing my love has been truly life-changing. I have thoroughly enjoyed this first semester as A-line’s Photography Chief. It has been so gratifying watching all of the photographers making their ideas come to life through shoots for this print issue and online articles. I have been so passionate about shooting for REM and expressing my creativity through my photos. I have loved being a part of this process by seeing this print issue come together photo by photo and I am so excited we get to share it with you. We hope you love this beautifully strange issue as much as we do!

Dont let the bed bugs bite,

Kylie Dunlap Photography Chief

Letter From The Creative Director

Dear reader,

REM as a body of work is something that has meant so many things to me, yet there is one thing in particular that it has depicted to me so vividly: what it means to watch others’ visions and dreams become real. We entered the deepest crevices and corners of the mind to create REM, and its manifestation has blown me away. I have been so privileged to watch this publication make something so artful, unique, and bizarre; to watch the A-Line staff stretch their minds within this concept has conveyed to me so clearly the evident creativity within this magazine. From wearing faux animal heads in film, making models into robots and statues, or even doing a full photoshoot underwater, the list goes on to show how special the journey into REM has been. I cannot express my pride enough.

Enjoy REM and sleep tight,

Aubrey Matson Creative Director
