Required responsibilities and skills:
- Create the cover for the 2019 annual issue, coordinating with the E-Journal Editor as appropriate.
- Create any graphics needed to accompany articles in the issue, using a program such as Photoshop or Illustrator (Design Editor’s choice).

- Resize and/or crop photos included in the 2018 issue, using a program such as Photoshop (Design Editor’s choice).

- Examples of graphics you have created
- Examples of documents/publications you have designed and/or done layout for. (optional, but candidates with such samples will be given priority consideration)
As is traditional with student publications, there is no pay. However, this is an invaluable opportunity to gain professional experience in academic publishing.
The deadline for applications is March 20, 2019.
I submitted pictures for a photographic essay last year for an issue that was supposed to be released in January. Did that ever get published or are you guys still trying to get things ready to start over?
Would love an update if you have time.
Thanks

Hi Jill,
That’s a great question! SA has undergone some structural changes, which has caused some delays, but we are back into a regular schedule now. We should have the 2018/2019 issue published by the end of the academic year! I will be emailing the people who submitted last year soon with a more specific update.
Thanks for your patience!
