Welcome to the Media Issue of the LIP. This summer marks an exciting development for the magazine, seeing it move out of the relative comfort of the student market into the big bad world with a new remit – to provide paid opportunities and exposure to young creatives. As any arts graduate knows, careers advisors and recruitment companies have little to offer if what you want to do is further your artistic interests and make a living at the same time. Sadly, many national publications see young, talented writers, artists and designers as fair game for slave labour. At the LIP we look at things differently.

Published four times a year, the LIP invites people like you to contribute the kind of work that you want to produce. In turn, we publish the kind of work that you want to see. In order for the LIP to develop, we need to hear from as many of you as possible – that’s why we’ve included a questionnaire in this issue. Completing it will only take a couple of minutes, and when you do, you stand the chance of winning a whole bunch of goodies. [click to continue…]
