The FlipSide is the Alternative Press of the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. I contribute to this small student run magazine as an Illustrator and spent two semesters as Art Director.
An article, written to be offensive stirred things up, offended a number of readers on the UWEC campus. As a result, the magazine struggles to survive. With members of the UWEC faculty set out to dismantle the organization, eliminating funding in a closed vote. While sponsoring protests and supporting plagiarism of articles and art out of context.
This cover, I created for an issue to feature the campus, life on it, and our story. It could have been one of the last issues and its contents highlighted the chain of events. Almost a year after the article of concern was printed contributors, readers, patriots and even a lawyer stand to protect it. I believe the magazine itself is invaluable and necessary. An opportunity for students to get real experience.
