Back to the Future
For anyone who has ever seen the episode of Spongebob with Squidward screaming “chrome” will know exactly what we were going for with this photoshoot. The future is bright, shiny and colorless. Herding a group of campus eboys into the studio for this session was a surprisingly easy feat, though — all we had to do was give them attention and a Red Bull. And at the end of the day, we were able to pull together a futuristic fashion line that would make even my kitchen’s aluminum foil jealous.
Overstimulated
Taping a bunch of pill bottles to a model’s face may seem bizarre, and that’s because it is. But when someone is writing a piece on Adderall addiction, you need to think outside the box when trying to capture what addiction looks like. Granted, it doesn’t look like this, but you get the point. This is supposed ti show how addiction makes you blind to the dangers you’re exposing yourself to and, trust me, our model couldn’t see a thing.
On Polaroid
There’s nothing like a little film to make you feel nostalgic. Thanks to our managing editor, Sal, for grabbing his Polaroid camera and snapping some shots. If we could caption these, we’d say “deadline warriors” for the hours we spend in the suite. Lizzie threw a love hand sign, Matt had his paparazzi moment, Andrew and Sharron show the love and Sal slaves over his first infographic in Adobe.
