Artlink australia

My involvement started in 2001 and for six years I worked closely with the national editor with rebranding the magazine, and for each issue I worked closely with managing editor Tory Shepherd.

The publisher, Artlink Australia, is based in Adelaide, South Australia, and was founded in 1981 by Stephanie Britton with seed funding provided by the South Australian Department for the Arts.

Originally produced as a bi-monthly 20-page black-and-white newsletter, the magazine was run by a committee that included representatives of the Experimental Art Foundation, the Contemporary Art Society, the SA School of Art Student Union, the Women's Art Movement, and the Friends of the Art Gallery of South Australia. From 1986, the magazine assumed a national profile with the formation of Artlink Australia in 1994.

From 1988, Artlink was published as a quarterly magazine, with the introduction of themed special issues from 1989.

My work was very hands-on, involving photo selection, colour correction using Photoshop, design, layout and typography in Indesign. I would also help with writing the captions and assist with copy correction.
