Literary Magazine
Recent ActivityThe literary magazine is published each year by the Rhapsody staff who encourage students in the school to submit their best writing and artwork through early January. Production begins during second semester and the staff decides on submissions and begins lay out using Adobe Creative Design. We work during Creative Writing II class and after school. If you are interested in being a staff member, there is an application process in Spring for Fall staff.
What we're doing Congratulations on Back to Back Trophy Class Win!Congrats to all staff members of Rhapsody from 2010-11 on their recent Trophy win from VHSL. This makes Back to Back top honors from the VHSL Publications Contest.
Also, congratulations to all of the individual prize winners as well of the VHSL Photography/Art/Design contest: Erin Jarvis, Kelly Teboe, Anna Gearhardt - Art Gallery Jade Brooks - Painting Chloe Anderson & Kelly Teboe - Prose Spread and to the editors in chief last year, Taylor Erney, Kate Harrison, Emily Goodrich for their design prizes of: 1st place - Concept Packaging 2nd place - Table of Contents 3rd place - Cover Welcome, Ms. Tanner as Official Co-AdviserWe'd like to welcome Ms. Tanner as Rhapsody's official Co-Adviser this year. She joins Kathy Smaltz in this capacity; Ms. Tanner brings with her an extensive knowledge of graphic arts and magazine design as well as expertise in visual art. Last year when she arrived at Brentsville, she began assiting, and we're excited to have her back as our official Co-Adviser this school year. We're also excited to welcome Photography classes back to BDHS, sections that Ms. Tanner teaches.
We'd also like to take a moment to thank Mrs. Blair-Nussbaum, who worked with the magazine for the past several years, as Co-Adviser for the past two. She worked hard to help grow the staff so it includes not just writers but also visual artists, and she also helped staff to feature artwork as it deserves to be showcased. In addition, she streamlined the process by which staff viewed and selected artwork and improved the quality of digital images to reduce pixelation in the final product. With writers and artists working together, students and advisers are producing the best Rhapsody possible. Literary Magazine 2011Hey everyone! We are very excited for this years magazine. We are working on our theme for this year, and as soon as we know it, you’ll know it. We look foreword to everyone’s submissions.
