Branding Team members are responsible for creating the fest’s website and graphic art, as well as contributing to social media. See the Branding Team’s work at ChiTeenLitFest.org!
Q: What program or workshop are you most excited to attend at the fest and why are you excited about it?
A: I am most excited about the Zine Making 101 with Chicago Zine Fest and On Getting Older Poetry and Zine Making Workshop with Brown and Proud Press. One will allow me to tap into my creative side and the other involves my identity.
Q: Why do you think teens should go to ChiTeen Lit Fest?
A: It’s free, there is a workshop for everyone and it’s a great way to find new interested, make new friends and become more open-minded.
Q: How have you been involved with the Branding Team?
A: I have been involved with the branding team for one year. I got involved through After School Matters and have since then helped create graphics that appear on our social media pages.
