Vantage Point, the student-run magazine highlighting various literary and artistic works from students, is teaming up with the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University to design their upcoming issue.<\/p>\n

Students at the Art Institute under the instruction of Associate Professor of Illustration Margaret Kimball will be designing this semester\u2019s issue of Vantage Point.<\/p>\n

Vantage Point is a publication run by students that contains various prose, poems, photos, and illustrations, among other works. It first came to fruition in 1967 and has been running ever since, showcasing the talent of Centre students. Creative writing professor Lisa Williams serves as faculty advisor.<\/p>\n

\"Founded<\/a>
Founded in 1967, Vantage Point is Centre\u2019s only literary magazine, featuring poetry, prose, photography, and art from Centre students.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe also do some art contests and photography contests on top of publishing literary works,\u201d vice president of Vantage Point and senior Bryan Carroll said.<\/p>\n

The staff of Vantage Point have sent the template off to Boston already. Kimball and her students are currently working on the template, adding illustrations to student\u2019s stories and poems along with designing themes that fit within the issue. The project is being taken on as a senior project for Kimball\u2019s students who recieve class credit and experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt works out as a project for them. They\u2019re treating us as a client that they would have in the business world,\u201d Carroll said. \u201cIt gives a visual aspect to the magazine that we never had before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are doing small illustrations throughout the book [and] they\u2019re also designing the cover and the layout of the magazine,\u201d president of Vantage Point and senior Danika Isdahl said.<\/p>\n

This partnership came out of a previous project with Kimball, who serves as Associate Professor of Illustration at Lesley University in Boston.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe had one of her classes illustrate our flash fiction pieces from a spring semester fiction class with [Fiction Professor] Dr. Moody, so she proposed we do that again with Vantage Point and we jumped at the opportunity,\u201d Isdahl said.<\/p>\n

Members of Vantage Point are optimistic about the future partnership with Kimball and hope that it can happen again in the near future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to continue to work with them. We\u2019re starting to learn how they work and vice versa, so the whole project is becoming more synergetic,\u201d Carroll said. \u201cWhile we don\u2019t know how free her students will be or how interested they will be, the relationship between Margi and Vantage Point is set,\u201d Isdahl said.<\/p>\n

Isdahl and Carroll both share personal goals they would like to see for Vantage Point upon leaving Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far I think it\u2019s picked up a lot this year, so I\u2019m just excited that people are looking forward to it and asking about it and wanting to read it,\u201d Isdahl said. \u201cI know for the Class of 2017, when they\u2019re seniors it will be the 50 anniversary, so I\u2019d like to see what they do. In the past we\u2019ve had things like alumni issues or even faculty\/staff issues, so I hope they do something special for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want it to continue to grow. There are a lot of really good writers at Centre and I like people being able to read their work,\u201d said Carroll. \u201cI think having a more visual project will really help with its growth; that\u2019s what I\u2019m really excited for.\u201d<\/p>\n

The issue is currently still a work in progress, but Centre students can expect to have the Vantage Point in their hands sometime towards the end of the month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are expecting to have the book back from the printer\u2019s on the 22nd, and release them after the release party on Nov. 23,\u201d Isdahl said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s welcome to the release party \u2026 It\u2019s a chance for writers to read their stuff to students, and it\u2019s always a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n
