Many of you have been asking how to get more involved with the Overkill design without taking on a big position -
THE OVERKILL FALL COVER DESIGN CONTEST
here's a fantastic opportunity! Art, photography, collages, graphic prints, etc. are all happily accepted. There's no theme to abide by, but since our next issue is planned to print around Halloween, maybe some dark and macabre images could be a helpful starting point. The winning designers will be recognized in the Editor’s Letter of Issue #6. In addition to the use of their covers, both winners will also receive $25 gift certificates to the Allegheny College Book Store! How useful at the beginning of the school year!
Just send your bmp or gif digital submissions to acoverkill@gmail.com.
The date for open submission starts...now! The deadline is Saturday, September 5, 2009. Have fun with this...remember that the covers are the first things people see when distribution time comes. Students, professors, administrators and tours with prospective students will see them!
So, let's show them Allegheny get can graphic.
- overkill
- "we grant that we are young; but that goes only to prove that we are new, that we represent, on its one side, the modern division in college journalism... nor does the... magazine lack its proper and necessary sphere in college life. true, it cannot hope to 'lend law to letters'; but it can, and does, where properly conducted, render no inconsiderable service to... the college with which it is connected. its pages may not often add to the store of permanent literature, but they are ever the fruitful beginnings in the formation of a mature and perfected style... [the] monthly was founded, and is published, by the students; and its only censor is the approval or disapproval of its constituents." -Allegheny Literary Monthly, 1898 We're just history repeating itself, babe.
