Last night's meeting went very well, thanks to everyone who showed up! I hope that I was able to answer all of your questions and, if you are a reader, I hope you are excited to start working on the staff.
One thing I forgot to bring was an example of a square, perfect-bound lit mag. I want everyone to have at least an idea of what the magazine's new format would look like, so here's a picture of a stack of literary magazines that have a similar shape/size.
Reasons I want to adjust the format:
1. Square books open wider, making reading more enjoyable, easier
2. We can do some different things with graphic design, have a little bit more liberty than in a rectangular, narrower magazine.
3. Aesthetics. Simple: it looks nice.
Feedback is welcome!
NOTE: SUBMISSIONS OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR REVISIONS
VIA REVISIONSLOYOLA@GMAIL.COM.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHO WRITE AND MAKE ART!
START SUBMITTING YOUR WORK!
(If the art is too big to scan, a high resolution photograph is perfectly acceptable.)
Start telling folks all around campus. Let's get some submissions.
Cheers to Lexi for her comment last night: "Most of our meetings will be in bars." Which undoubtedly recruited at least three more people to the often under-populated poetry staff.
Also thanks to Adam Gnuse for getting the word out about 1718 Reading Series. I hope that some of the Revisions Staff will consider joining the organization as well as reading work.
Well, we're off to a start.
