Alumni Celebrate F Newsmagazine’s 40th Year!

By Comics, F+, SAIC

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.”

Kristen Lee, BFA 2023, MFAW 2025
