Issue 5 marks the final issue of Catalyst for 2018! We’re getting reflective and thinking ‘bout the past, the present and the future. It’s also heading to the pointy end of the semester/year and people are feeling pretty tense. Use all this for your ideas!
This issue will be photography-based. Send your photography, or an explanation of the piece you intend to create, through the Google form https://bit.ly/2mR81cD or to [email protected] to be featured in the magazine.
Below are prompts for visuals to match written articles:
- Nostalgia
- Political relationship between Aus and the US
- Relationships/advice column
- Grammar and language
- Injuries
- Crystals
- Spirituality
- Money/capitalism
- Mental health, depression

- Future technologies
Stand-alone visuals or a series that fits with the theme is also more than welcome! Have a look at the following ideas and create if you’re inspired:
