Senior Editors: Zaynab Ali & Wendy Palmgren Editorial Staff: Lucy Alvear Susana Blandon Samm Fanning Kathryn Chuchmuch Jordan Smith Advisers: Mari-Carmen Marín Catherine Olson Kyle Solak Cover Art: Pack Up the Moon Charlene Woelfel My interest in photography first began in 2012 while on a trip to the beach with my family. While I had initially only been interest- ed in using my camera to document family events and excursions, my interest in photography quickly grew into a passion for creating art after that trip. “Pack Up the Moon” was a piece I created after reading the poem “Funeral Blues” by W.H. Auden in my English 1302 class. My goal was to create a dreamlike scene that depicted the feelings described in the poem. This piece is a composite of three images that I took on separate occasions – one of the stars, one of the model, and one of the moon – and edited together using Adobe Photoshop.

He opens his eyes with blurred vision Just a little bit longer, His grasp reflex works overtime Until I don’t have to hide. A small cough bubbles up out of him Just a little bit longer, Until this rain stops pouring, Already development has begun And the wind ceases roaring. Fontanels fuse together Until the thunder doesn’t boom, Color slowly fills in his world And I can’t see my doom. Sounds become more distinct Just a little bit longer, Bones begin to calcify Until the sky breaks open. Years pass quickly, quietly The child is grown The parents are now fragile and weak Like the immature infant Their lives are ending They hold a great-grandchild For the first and last time Death has come to reap They are covered with earth Back where they began Life becomes invaluable As mourning cries rise in the air 2 3 Fragments The truth became a dream anew Brandon Paiz Delusion was no guarantee, bona fide Poorest boy or poorest girl, when I. My heart can bare it I devote myself You are so tall and I am so small Revealing what no one else sees I look and seem familiar, adhered Feel these tremendous eruptions Behind walls where I’m disguised Exploding beneath the skin Here meanwhile they exist unaware Surviving with varied flesh Making sense of the ambiguities Gloomy, rusty red magma burns Lightened by sickly source, wall clock Smoldering ash of prior visions Tick tocks with such unrelenting pace Manifest interred, unrecoverable The glass dinner table scarcely clean In time I wished I could love him I observe my creators and I perceive Loving preferable, but father, he Mangled marionettes left to die Taught me to hate him much more They howl and scream, bombarding Endless hatred like throwing knives III. At one another, misplaced in my bones You thrive here, broken apart Their harsh voices burst my insides Curtailing regrets with cheap booze Futile words become reminders kept Unacceptable dead-end normality I recall my barren face, pale The only woman I will ever love Devoid of pride and compassion Fading further and further away Tears of familiarity in conditions alike Three days, four days, five days I contemplate imminent happenings Where? Your absence buries me Scared of what they’ll think Like some shallow grave vacant Knowing I enable my memory Mother, don’t you get it? To dictate every foot forward Confront those demons eager Reborn a puppet of my past Observe the damage they’ve done Consider the bigger picture, spirits II. You endlessly lust to obliterate My mother carrying Of only youthful comprehension She wished for my companion Though I did not cease to exact Finally to come true, but my father In her unwillingness to abstain Answering her with corrosive apathy I beg her to put it down, look me in Dismantled and impotence subdue The eye and tell me why –“To forget” 4 5 Someone said that my love might be That’s What I Don’t Get Enough for her sooner or later Brianna Korenek Oh god, count my prayers Pull yourself apart from the shadows I don’t understand.

For my first couple of semesters I took art classes like design and drawing, where the main focus was on black and white. This piece, “Red Hands,” was one of my first serious uses of color. I used black and red Prismacolor pencils on sketch paper. I studied multiple images of hands and used reference pictures while creating “Red Hands.” My goal was to give the effect of a liquid dripping off of two hands without defining the hands themselves.

This model was expanded upon by musicians in England and Germany during the late-1970s who developed the popular music style called Industrial as a fusion of experimental popular music sounds, performance art theatricality, and avant-garde composition.

  • Piyozr's Inkling Language Guide
    - 1 - PiyozR’s Inkling Language Guide (modified 2/11/2016) The following guide is a collection of phonetics, vocabulary and grammar points constructed by Splatoon players for a fan-made Inkling constructed language (or conlang). This language is not meant to serve as a guide to any in-game dialogue, lyrics, or written text. This project was undertaken partly out of the lack of actual semantics and phonetics found in the signs, apparel, and spoken gibberish within Splatoon. This was also undertaken out of love and respect for Nintendo and their fantastic and imaginative third-person shooter. We hope that all Splatoon fans worldwide can understand our very simple conlang and use this for their own creative fun projects from comics to posters to apparel to whatever their minds can cook up. We, the language nerds of Squidboards, extend to everyone a hearty and fresh welcome to our Inkling conlang! Looking for a particular word? Ctrl + F and type it in! We add vocab and grammar as we create them, so nothing is organized all that coherently. I’ll let you do the work. Find a mistake? Did I make a typo somewhere? If there’s some sort of error in this guide that you find, please notify me (Piyoz) immediately so I can iron that out. You can contact me through the Facebook page, the IU Youtube Channel, or the Squidboards forums. This conlang and guide are a continual work in progress.
