Hey Tumblr Folks!
CofC Students! Shoot us a message if you’re interested in writing for our next issue, coming out March 23. We have a ton of interesting topics in mind for content, and would love to include your voice.
Some fun ideas we’ve discussed:
-Student Fashion: Sartorialist Style
-Themed Spring Parties
-Professors with odd jobs and hobbies
-Charleston outdoor activities
-Have an idea? Let us know!
Next month, we’ll be profiling a few student artists who were accepted into the Young Contemporaries Student Exhibition. We’re thinking of finding five different students to profile five different artists. If you, CofC student, are interested in writing a profile of about 500 words, then holla! (ie. send us a message)
On another note, Charleston City Paper recognized us for our covers and content in the last semester: http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/charleston/best-magazine-covers-besides-ours/BestOf?oid=4032124
…thanks to a great team of staff and contributors for making this possible!
A new G magazine is out!
Click on the photo to read a feature about Charleston electronic and dubstep producer Jared Parfrey, a CofC grad who overcame the odds to become successful.
A preview of what’s to come: tribal swimsuit fashion, a profile of an artist, a student’s reflection from a trip to Kenya, and how one Charleston electronic producer climbed to the top of the charts on a ladder built from rungs of misfortune.
Here at the office, it is 3:24 a.m. and we are still at work! Could not be more exited to see this issue in print. G Magazine just keeps getting better.
Student Contributors’ Meeting
Students! Come to the George Street Observer (now Cisternyard.com and G Magazine) weekly contributors meeting today, Sunday, at 5 p.m, in the Calhoun Annex. We are upstairs.
We will hand out assignments for articles to write for the web and for G. It’s a great time to pitch ideas and learn more about opportunities for involvement.
We have three paid staff positions still open for a News Writer, Columnist, and a Design Editor, to format and design G using Adobe Indesign.
So this happened.
A note from the editor-in-chief. LOLZ.
It’s from behind the scenes of the cover shoot last night. Real cover coming soon…
Up next, the second annual sex and dating issue! Featuring the fantastic fashion photography of Nikki Scioscia.
Recipes for tasty breakfasts, a sports preview, and an article about the Rocky Horror Picture Show also in the works.
Pick up a copy this Thursday.
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
