NINTH LETTER IS A COLLABORATIVE ARTS AND LITERARY PROJECT PRODUCED BY THE CREATIVE WRITING PROGRAM AND SCHOOL OF ART + DESIGN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN. EDITED AND DESIGNED BY FACULTY AND STUDENTS AS PART OF THE CORE CURRICULA OF BOTH PROGRAMS, WORK PUBLISHED IN NINTH LETTER HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR MANY AWARDS ANTHOLOGIES AS WELL AS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL AWARDS FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN.
AFTER READING ALL THE STORIES AND POEMS THAT ARE PROVIDED FROM THE EDITORS, THE DESIGN STUDENTS DERIVE A THEME AND PREPARE AN ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL FOR PRINT. THROUGH THIS PROCESS STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO LEARN AND PARTICIPATE IN THE WHOLE PROCESS OF BOOK DESIGN FROM CREATING THE FILES TO DOING PRESS CHECKS OF THE FINAL WORK. I worked on the project for six issues as the lead designer and course instructor.
