“Hinsdale South High School’s Illusions Art Magazine is a collection of students's artwork presented in a magazine/book format. It is given out to the school's students for free. The artworks presented in this magazine are either submitted or nominated by the staff. I was on the illusions staff from 2017-2020 and in 2019 became the magazine's Editor in Chief. Unfortunately, this promotion came right before the pandemic. This is the editor’s statement on the 2019-2020 Magazine,  

‘This year’s edition of Hinsdale South High School’s Illusions Art Magazine is the first under my direction and I am proud of my staff’s determination to get you this magazine during these hard times. This year’s concept was inspired by the world’s biggest pop-art artists. Along with selecting the artwork in this magazine, we have studied the works of Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, and Roy Lichtenstein. We have compiled the student artwork through contests, art shows, and teacher submissions. To submit to Illusions and have a chance to get your work published in next year’s magazine, talk to your art teachers.  

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we had to hold meetings and assemble the magazine virtually this year. Although we will release this year’s edition electronically, we will also have a small print run. So look out for it! Though this has been challenging, I am proud of the 42nd edition of Hinsdale South High School’s Illusions Magazine. Enjoy!’”
