Bettering myself
iliad Design Editor Eva Orbock, a senior, reflects on her time in the ODYSSEY.
Even though I have only been a part of the iliad Iiterary-art magazine and ODYSSEY Media Group for a year, my time here has been invaluable. When I first entered the program I was pretty overwhelmed. I had friends in ODYSSEY and the iliad, but I didn’t really know what the program was all about. Only now can I say that I do.
For me, the iliad and ODYSSEY have taught me to be a better writer, team member, designer, and communicator.
For me, the iliad and ODYSSEY have taught me to be a better writer, team member, designer, and communicator. Never before have I taken on such a demanding and rewarding role. As Design Editor for the iliad literary-art magazine, I have had to make countless posters, programs, like the one you all got today, banners, and, of course, magazines.
I have also had to put myself out there more than ever before. I am a very anxious person, so having to reach out to people for interviews, edits, and help was at first very difficult, but ultimately beneficial for me. I am very grateful for the design and interpersonal experiences that I have had as result of my position within the iliad and ODYSSEY, and I know that I will continue to draw on them for years to come.
