Who to Blame We’re Debate. Well what we have of Debate so far, we’re still waiting for AUTSA to put up a listing so we can hire some news writers (angry reacts only please). If you’re interested in writing for us, send an email to our editor rzhong@aut.ac.nz). We’re in charge of producing your fortnightly student mag, calling out AUT and AUTSA and keeping you entertained. Last year AUT got angry at us for basically telling them that they should try harder at a lot of things. All we can really say to AUT is don’t point fingers if your hands are dirty x. Anyway, we thought we would introduce ourselves nice and early. Put a face to the name before y’all get too angry at us.

Hi! My name is Yi and I’m Debate’s cover and interior artist. I am a
making this magazine in your hot little hands look kinda nice. I also contribute a few drawings here and there. When I’m not designing the mag, you’ll find me eating (food is my life’s greatest passion), patting cats (I have a kitten called Pepp), oh, and growing a lil baby in ma tum! I’ll be heading off on parental leave in April so come Issue 4 there’ll be a sparkly new designer sitting in my chair – please pretend to miss me.
freelance illustrator and I specialise in gaming art and editorial work. I enjoy reading and gaming in my spare time, hence my areas of specialisation in illustration being particularly apt. I also enjoy long hikes in the mountains, and New Zealand’s gorgeous landscape has been particularly inspirational in terms of its beauty and vastness. I am happy to be back with the Debate team again this year and I hope to be able to provide you all with some enjoyable pieces to look at while you read the magazine.
