The Seneca Collective is a free bimonthly art and illustration zine (a self-published magazine) from the School of Communication Arts and Animation students of Seneca College which aims to spread the work of Seneca’s visual art students around campus and to provide resources and networking opportunities to Seneca’s art students. The zine features themed illustrations, comics, illustrated recipes a
nd in-depth interviews with industry professionals. All of Seneca’s visual art students, whether they are in Illustration, Animation, Art Fundamentals or Graphic Design are encouraged to submit art to The Seneca Collective for inclusion in the zine. The Seneca Collective is also registered with the SSF as a club and any students who are interested in submitting to the zine are encouraged to sign up to join us. We plan to host on-campus events that will further promote interaction and creativity among Seneca’s visual art students. We are all current or former visual arts students from Seneca College. For more information about the editors and contributors of the zine, please see the contributors page. Where can I get The Seneca Collective? You can pick up your copy of The Seneca Collective at the Seneca@York library. If you can’t get to the campus or the library has run out of copies then you can still read all issues of The Seneca Collective digitally, for free and in their entirety on our Issues page. How do I submit to The Seneca Collective? Here’s what you need to know to submit:
Submissions are only open to those who are currently attending or have previously attended Seneca college! Submissions will be printed as BLACK/WHITE/GRAYSCALE because colour printing is insanely expensive! Please keep this in mind for your submissions! In some instances we may accept submissions with VERY LIMITED colour. Please consult us about this. Submissions must fit within a 5.5” by 8.5” page (double paged spreads are allowed, just make it 8.5” by 11”). Submissions must be submitted as high res JPEGs or TIFFs and be AT LEAST 300 DPI; 600 DPI is preferred. When you submit any sort of submission, we’d love it if you include a little doodled self-portrait for the contributors page. Grayscale photos are also acceptable for the contributors page. NO EXPLICIT PO*******HY (some nudity is fine), EXTREME GORE, EXCESSIVE SWEARING (just bleep it out!) OR HATESPEECH IS TOLERATED. Please try and avoid all copyrighted media! We’d really like to not get sued! Any copyrighted media included in submissions will be denied. This does NOT include fanart. You can submit that. Just don’t submit other people’s work. E-mail all submissions to SenecaCollectiveZine(at)gmail(dot)com, or use the submission form. Each contributor will receive some copies of the zine to distribute however they’d like! We’ll have to be able to give it to you at the school, however; we will not be sending out copies in the mail, as that’s rather expensive. If you cannot receive your copy for whatever reason, we’re also putting together PDF versions of the zine, so we can e-mail you one!
