@sprungformal is a literary arts journal published annually in association with the Liberal Arts and Graphic Design Departments at
@kcartinstitute . Established in 2005, Sprung Formal is edited and produced by students who pride themselves on combining professional content with professional-grade student work. The content includes a myriad of selected poetry, short fiction, and visual art.
.
As the primary project in “Interdisciplinary Inquiry,” a course in the Graphic Design department taught by
@adamswiftlucas , seven juniors operated as the magazine’s design studio, Not Art. The design students collaborated closely with students in
@j_stemps 's Liberal Arts class who served as the editorial team.
.
The two classes worked on all aspects of the publishing process — from early research, establishing an editorial and artistic vision; to soliciting content from professional writers and artists from around the country; to selecting, organizing, and sequencing the content; to designing, art directing, and managing the printing and production. In addition to the printed publication, the students designed and built a new website, featuring all of the content from Issue 17; and launched a reading release event with live readings, performances, and screenings.
