When we started work on the 2022 Bleed Magazine, we knew there would be challenges. It being the 13th edition only added to this feeling. But creative emergence is a funny thing; no matter how many times we wondered how the smallest graduating cohort to ever produce The Bleed (eleven students) could possibly manage to get it all done, what emerged when we came together was something great, and something that we can all be proud of.

Through this production, we hope you can see the germination and emergence of the seeds that were planted during our recent collective time of seclusion. While being separated, we gained insight into the way that technology and art can connect us, and the impacts they can have, not just on individuals, but on the climate and social movements. As writers and designers, we wanted to bring attention to these issues, to honor the work that has been done, and illuminate how art and design impacts all these aspects of society.

Over the course of 8 weeks, our creative staff spent hours working together; from late-night remote meetings to afternoon in-person coffee shop meet-ups, we collaborated to make the 13th Bleed the best magazine it could be. The Bleed is a student-produced art and design publication from the graduating graphic design class of Lane Community College. We hope the coming pages inspire and inform you about these important topics.

The Bleed magazine would not be possible without the exceptional guidance and unwavering assistance of Tom “MadHaus” Madison. In addition to Tom, we would like to thank QSL for producing the final prints of The Bleed 13 and Lane Community College for providing the funds to make this magazine possible.
