1981 gave birth to many breakthroughs including the IBM PC, PacMan, and the sendoff of the space shuttle Columbia. On the local scene, the first edition of Images, the Parkland student arts magazine, was produced by Parkland College students.
Guided by Joe Harris, the Humanities Division chair, this student art magazine featured the literary and artistic talents of Parkland students for six consecutive years. After an extended hiatus, Images was resurrected, with the 2006 edition being the seventh consecutive edition of publication since the millennium.
Literary works may be found here, along with artwork ranging from pencil drawings to graphic design. All aspects of Images are created, managed, and produced by Parkland students, providing valuable hands-on experience in the various fields comprising magazine production and design.
