Redefining art: alt. mag


This was a week of milestones in CreComm.


First, deciding on an IPP that I’m actually excited about and just might work out; second, watching a screenplay that I wrote get filmed (and realising just how cheesy my lines were); and finally, yesterday afternoon, hitting the send button that emailed the final PDF of our magazine to our printer.


Yes, hitting the presses this weekend is Manitoba’s first alternative art magazine, alt., featuring artists, exhibits, music programs and even exercise classes that push the boundaries of what is defined as “art”.




From researching, interviewing, writing the articles, and creating the ads, to laying it all out on InDesign and painstakingly pouring over every inch of every page to make sure everything was as it should be, we are all really happy with the result.


In the past few days we all worked incredibly hard so that it was not just ‘finished’, but a finished product we (Caitlin MacGregor, Jeremy Williams, Karleigh Danowski, and me) are proud to have our names on.


24 pages, 7 articles, 6 full page ads, 3 months.


No sweat, eh?
