EDITORS’ NOTE

As this is the committee’s first full-length print edition, I couldn’t be happier with the enthusiasm shown by our writers and illustrators. The cover competition for this edition was a huge success and I want to congratulate everyone on their submissions, we have tried to feature as many as we could. The theme VIBRANCY has given us a huge range of submissions and it’s been a lot of fun working on the design of such a colourful edition. Thank you as always to our writers, illustrators and designers - the number of people interested in submitting work for print has blown me away and I’m excited to be able to offer more opportunities to get involved in the next edition. And, of course, a huge thank you to my print team for working so hard on a magazine we should all be very proud of. I’m very optimistic for the rest of our editions this year and I can’t wait to work on the next one.

Kat Green, Print Editor/Co-President

Colour, life, and energy are the things I think of when I think vibrancy! All of the articles, illustrations and photographs in this edition beautifully embody this sentiment. There’s something about picking up a RAZZ magazine and seeing how people have infused every word with their distinct essence and personality that warms my heart and excites my mind. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this edition and for their hard work. Happy reading!

Chloé Jarrett-Bell, Deputy Print Editor

Welcome to VIBRANCY! The theme for this term has been especially exciting to incorporate into the design of this edition and I have loved being able to make use of bold and bright colours to match the articles. Big thank you’s go to the Print Team and especially Kat, our Print Editor for keeping everything organised. I would also like to thank Maia McGill, the winner of our cover competition and who has given me a hand with some of the pages in this edition, alongside Dharma Austin, whose photoshoot you can also see in this edition. I am very grateful as a stressed third year who has been bombarded with deadlines throughout the term! I hope as readers you are inspired when flicking through and I am looking forward to seeing where the next edition of RAZZ takes us!
