DISPLAYS AND ILLUSTRATIONS

Something exciting happened in the Biology department of Douglas
College this summer. Two art students put together a series of

displays and illustrations for use in the community and the College.

Lorraine Jolin, from Emily Carr College of Art, and Sherida Levy
Co of U.B.C. looked on their summer work project as a great way to

further their careers and help other students at the same time.

The illustrations, which the two worked on will be used in college
textbooks during the 1985 academic year. The idea behind the
project, funded by the federal/provincial Challenge ‘85 program,

was to help keep down the cost of a college education.

"Before I started this, I wanted to be an animator," said Jolin.
"But now that I've learned something about Biology, and enjoyed the

work, I'm thinking of taking a Medical Illustrations program."

And for Levy, who still has her eyes set on a more traditional art

career, the project provided some valuable professional experience.

The work mostly consisted of illustrating biology manuals; this

involved the production of diagrams, graphs, and illustrations

based on material from textbooks and other sources.
