Production Process

Stance's Production and Design Process

For each edition of Stance, the production design team, made up of Ball State architecture students, is responsible for several critical elements of creating the final journal. In the early stages of assembly, the team creates and refines original artwork for the front and back covers of the journal.

They are also responsible for creating original works of art to supplement the ideas discussed in each paper. Volume 14 (2021) marked a first for Stance, because in this edition, the artists made statements about their artwork and recorded them in the "Artwork Index" toward the end of the journal. The production design team takes pride in the immense effort it takes to layout the interior of the journal in its entirety. They build upon previous editions to create a new, custom layout each year.
