We’re excited to share our second digital zine, Jacket Archives. Check it out here!

Issue 1 of Jacket Archives is an orchestra of individual works from our staff, with each staff member’s section exploring themes of identity, self, passion, and what it means to be an artist. An assemblage of passion projects, this zine offers a taste of what’s to come in our upcoming 52nd issue.

Special thanks to this zine’s contributors: Angela Dai, Jack Rarer, Chloe Morris, Shreya Kumar, Jourdan Holmes, Anthony Peterson, Angela Huynh, Aparna Arul, Jimmy Liu, Jasmine Hsu.

We’re working around the clock collecting submissions, mapping production and planning out our next edition to make our 52nd edition a well orchestrated culmination of our students’ creativity. In the meantime, check out some of our previous works.

Erato is excited to share our first online-exclusive zine! The Desktop Issue focuses on a student’s desk as a microcosm of identity:

The limited horizontal real estate in a student’s room results in a student’s desk being in constant flux. Papers are written on and put away, drawings made and scrapped, laptops opened and closed, candy wrappers set aside to be discarded later. Some might keep their desk simple and organized, while others might have a system that works only inside their mind. On each desk is a student’s identity, spread across the tabletop. A desk is also a reflection of current experiences, littered with objects indicating beginnings and endings, a surface of subtle intimacies ripe for examination.

Along with the zine, we are releasing the Adobe Illustrator file used to create the front and back cover elements, which includes a wood texture, sticky notes, a phone, an open book, lined paper, notebooks, highlighters, an eraser, a pencil, and a pen!
