St. Luke’s Literary Magazine Receives Gold Medalist Award
St. Luke's "The Pendulum 2017" is awarded the highest honor by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.
St. Luke’s literary magazine The Pendulum 2017 received the Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s Gold Medalist award as well as the All-Columbian Honors for Essentials (which includes the Editor’s statement, Table of Contents and staff and procedure information). Gold Medalist is highest honor awarded by the press association.
The judge’s comments of St. Luke’s literary magazine’s 2017 “Noise” edition were as follows:
"Your design and packaging of student artwork is clearly carefully done. You did a great job of complementing verbal content with visual. Overall you've created a really wonderful collection of student work that is displayed with care and talent. I hope you feel very proud of this magazine because it is beautiful. I love how you've changed up each spread so that it doesn't feel like you've just popped pieces into a template.

There's a nice variety of noise and color, black and white and softer colors for the eye to rest, elements bleeding off the page then spreads with more white space and framing—this kind of variety gave you room for identifying elements like that recurring sound wave graphic. Very nicely done. Kudos for including layout credits and technical notes. We design geeks actually love reading that stuff."
New Canaan resident Jack Hobbs '17 was The Pendulum 2017 editor-in-chief. The assistant editor was Zoe Smith ’17 (Stamford) and the layout editor was Meg Adams ‘18 (Norwalk). The co-advisors were Steve Flachsbart and Jeorge Yankura and the success of this publication was made possible by the contributions of numerous St. Luke's students.
