Bridging the gap 

Written by Konstantinos Evangelos Tzovlas

Here at Strider magazine, we are composed of a team dedicated in working together for the greater good of the community. We were all brought together through a government incentive scheme labeled ‘Work for the Dole’.

Our ultimate goal is to look at the big picture of how we could use the community support to help bridge a gap between community and corporate Australia. Our approach to getting the support of the community is by producing a web publication detailing our views and concepts of issues that have affected the community.

By bridging the gap between community and corporate Australia, we seek to redefine the meaning of the word community and what it represents to making Australians a unified people. We look to achieve this by getting all Australians to understand that we are not about ourselves but about each other.

Since we were brought together through the government incentive scheme, we all made a decision to work together as a collective, rather than individuals to work towards the common goal of producing an online magazine. Each of us was assigned different tasks relating to the magazine itself. Tasks included article writing, graphics, structure planning, futuristic development, job searching and confidence building in search of having everyone open their minds to their fullest potentials. 

When I came into this course, I didn’t know where I wanted to be in my life. I came into this course looking to learn about the fundamentals of how to become a graphic artist. This course has given me that freedom. The freedom to explore new ideas and open my mind to new horizons. This course has and will continue to change me for the rest of my life.
