iCreate
iCreate is a student-run creative magazine made by iSci students for the iSci community. We release two-three editions per year. The magazine showcases a variety of creative pieces, including poetry, creative writing, comedy, drawing, painting, photography, videos, as well as other forms of visual and artistic media. All cohorts are welcome to submit their creative works under their name, or anonymously, in a judgement-free environment.

THE ICREATE TEAM
Assistant Editors
A team of two to four assistant editors are hired each year to review and provide feedback on submissions to iCreate. Their work involves editing written pieces, working with artists to create titles and captions which capture the artist’s vision and the publication’s theme, as well as creating journal content.
Graphic Designers
A team of two to three graphic designers bring the magazine to life by creating original designs for content and template pages, as well as the table of contents and front and back covers of the magazine.
Layout Editors
Two to three layout editors are responsible for the formatting, layout and overall presentation of the magazine. Layout editors will insert the submissions into the template pages provided by the graphic designers and are responsible for curating the final copy of the issue.
Submissions Coordinator
One or two individuals who have strong interpersonal and organisational skills collect submissions for upcoming iCreate publications and serve as a contact between assistant editors and artists to ensure feedback is received and approved for publication.
Promotions Coordinator
The promotions coordinator is in charge of fostering the presence of iCreate on social media by updating the iCreate Facebook and Instagram pages and ensuring that the iSci community is aware of upcoming dates and deadlines for submissions and issue releases, as well as who we are, what we do, and how they can get involved.

iCreate Director of Media
