Your design could cover the Interrobang
Grab your paint set, your camera,
your tablet, your Sharpies and
your coloured pencils — it's time
for the Interrobang's annual cover
contest.
Students have the opportunity to cover the Interrobang's January 14, 2013 issue. Entries are due on December 7 at 2 p.m. in the FSU Publications office (SC1012). The theme of this year's contest is student life.
"For the most part, I look for student elements — things that students see and what they focus on would be student life on campus. It's just about looking at campus life through students' eyes," explained Darby Mousseau, the Fanshawe Student Union's creative director and one of the contest's judges.
You can draw, paint, take a picture, use Photoshop to design an image — the medium is up to you! Images must be 10 inches by 14 inches, and remember to be aware of the newspaper's fold — only the top half of the paper is displayed on stands. Put your high-resolution image on a CD and submit it to the Publications office along with the submission form, which can be found at fsu.ca/contest.
"Just look around to see what's happening on campus," Mousseau advised. "You might find something that no one else sees and it can get posted (on the cover). You can win some money for it and build your portfolio." It's also a great chance to gain some exposure — each week, thousands of copies of the Interrobang hit the stands on the six Fanshawe campuses across southwestern Ontario.
The winner of the contest will receive a $250 cash prize and a profile story in the January 14 issue of the paper. The creator of the design that comes in second place will receive $50 cash, and third place will receive $25 cash.
