From the major impact a global pandemic has made on our lives, to wildfires, ice storms, and protests concerning racial injustice, the period covering 2020 into early 2021 has definitely been a wild ride. Despite the challenges of these unprecedented times, new and returning members of The Advocate newspaper and Venture Magazine at Mt. Hood Community College worked together to create this 2021 edition.
This year’s Venture was created remotely as we adjusted to the changes in workflow this past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was created with the help of various designers with different design interests and strengths. The new skills learned throughout this process are sure to stay with us for years to come.
It’s been such an amazing experience to work with such a talented group on Venture Magazine, and the memories of creating something so timeless will last forever. With the distinct style of each student writer and designer each year, Venture reflects the experience and observation of what is occurring during that period of time as well as other personal, enduring stories.
Amid the many challenges this past year has brought, brighter times lie ahead of us. Whether it’s going to a bakery, diving into business as an entrepreneur, or working to build a more safe, inclusive community for future generations, there are always things to be involved in, to look forward to and to explore. This year’s Venture highlights the experiences of entrepreneurs, bakery store owners, college students, and how the pandemic has changed the way specific businesses and entire professions operate.
The cover art here was illustrated by Mae Cossu, and the rest of the magazine was crafted with the help of other designers.
We hope you enjoy this issue of Venture. Thank you so much to Dan Ernst, Howard Buck and all the designers and writers for their hard work on this project, as well as their support and diligence.
