Titles: DECADES OF IMPACT
“Alumni celebrate F Newsmagazines 40th year!”

We see a large crowd of people bundled at the corner of the page. They are all in celebratory
poses: throwing up peace signs, cheering, and clapping with joyful expressions The vibrant
artwork is filled with expressive characters in pink, blue, and purple tones for a festive tone. A
pink pigeon in a blue party hat is the recipient of the celebration. Confetti floats around the page
and among the ecstatic crowd. A variety of quotes from F News Alumni are in bodies of text
around the characters.

QUOTE 1:
“The two best things about writing for F News were covering stories I wouldn’t otherwise have
covered and being edited by people I wouldn’t otherwise have been edited by. Both stretched
me and shaped me into a more formidable writer than I could ever have become alone.”
Dustin Lowman, MFA 2020

QUOTE 2:
“In the future, F will be delivered city-wide by drone with a RF-EMF transmitter, right into your
head!”
Ethan Persoff, BFA 1997

QUOTE 3:
“Besides the camaraderie, the bonding between MFA and BFA students, the mentorship, and
getting to know my future wife, it was when we decided to make an entire issue in anaglyph 3D
(red blue 3D) and the staff stayed late one day hand stuffing a pair of 3D glasses into EVERY
SINGLE ISSUE…”
Christopher Martin-Givens, BFA 2014

QUOTE 4:
“There was a group of staff who became close social friends and BOY HOWDY did we have
some fun poker games away from SAIC!”
Scott Marshall, BFA 1994

QUOTE 5:
“I was so proud of everyone’s flexibility and willingness to learn new tech in the face of COVID,
and that first digital issue in April 2020 was one of our best.”
Cat Cao, BFA Viscomm 2020

QUOTE 6:
“Student Journalism gives students the space to grow roots in the Journalism Community while
also engaging in their own Community around them.”
