are you sure that you guys will not come back for the OC?

Yes, we're pretty sure that we're not coming back. Sorry to bring the bad news 😅 But on the bright side, there are a lot of people making stuff this time soooooo, don't worry!! ~Anya

I love what you guys did with Illea Illustrated, especially those covers and interviews. It's so sad to see you guys not continue. :( Do you have any tips for people planning on making a magazine for the next oc?

AAAAAAHHHH THANKS AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! So Chris and I are happy to give tips and these are it: Chris's Tips: •Keep Updated with the Selected's fics to be able to personalize questions well•Make People feel comfortable Out of Character so they feel free to think and answer interviews •Calculate your Page Space wisely when layouting (make sure to have just enough questions to fill the entire page) Anya's Tips: •DOWNLOAD A LOT OF FONTS!!! Okay legit, fonts are your friends. The bigger your font library, the more you can play with layouts and designs. •Keep the number of fonts you use at a minimum. Don't use TOO MANY fonts. In ILL2, it usually depends on the article type- but the ones I typically used were Bebas Neue (Interview Questions), Glacial Indifference (Interview Answers), Edition (The Illea Illustrated Logo), and Engebrechtre (usually for top captions and the front cover). • Don't be afraid to play with designs and colors. The first cover of ILL2 was a result of me just playing with cover designs. • Find your own style of editing and layout. It doesn't typically come overnight but, I promise you- once you find your own style, it's all smooth sailing. • Choose your co-editors wisely. Make sure it's someone you trust and can communicate well with. Running a magazine isn't easy, but thanks to Chris- the load really was lighter . (S/o to Grandma for being the best co-editor EVER, ILY) • Have fun and stay true to yourself. Remember, it's YOUR magazine and YOUR content. Listening to feedback is nice and all, but do what you want to do. Not what others want you to do. • Be nice. I really have to agree with Grandma. Make your interviewee comfortable and don't make them feel like they're being interrogated (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) Just keep the interview chill. Okay, that's all We really have for now. Hopefully these words of wisdom will help everyone who's making content for this Selection. 💕 If you need anymore tips or questions, feel free to PM us. 😊

Illea Illustrated, The Farewell Issue 

Follow @illeaillustrated, A Former Media Correspondent of the Selection, for SelectionOC 4 Content 

Hey there Selectioners, ILL2 here. So we started with a prince on the cover (Nate) and I find it appropriate that we end with a prince on the cover (Ben)

Sooo yeah, this is our official announcement that Illea Illustrated will not be coming back for the SelectionOC Cycle 5. We’d just really love to thank you all for the support you’ve shown us while working on this magazine, your responses and feedback were very appreciated by us.

Like seriously guys, I went into this with like 0% knowledge on how to run and work a magazine, but wow- I’m so happy to have gotten to work on my skills through this platform. Honestly, I really will miss making ILL2 covers cause they’re like the best to make and I love the styling BUUUUUT, we’ve decided collectively to not continue on publishing issues for the OC. Nonetheless, we’d like to wish everyone luck especially to @benjaminschreave (Bri and Est) on their journey as the next prince and to anyone and everyone who’s going to be running a magazine in the next OC. We can’t wait to see where you guys can go from here.  So good luck guys, give everyone something to write about. 

Now it’s time for us to officially sign off, ILL see you when I see you ;) 

 - Anya, Co-Editor and Layout Artist <3

I’m not really going to say goodbye, because I’m sure I’ll still in touch with you, guys. Buuuut I do wanna say, I’m very thankful with all of you and specially with Anya for letting me be part of this magazine, which was her brilliant idea. I had a lot of fun doing the interviews and thinking about questions that suited your character’s personality, etc.  I hope you have a great 5th selection, full of OC drama with the super handsome prince Benjamin! ENJOY!!!  ~Grandma out~

Is there an old ILL1 page we can see?

I don’t know… CAN you see it???

[illeaillustrated]

I'm kidding, here it is- some of my drafts for the covers I do on my phone when I don't have my laptop 😂 ~ Anya 💖

Is there an old ILL1 page we can see?

I don't know... CAN you see it???

[illeaillustrated]

What happened to ILL1?

I'm sorry, ILL1 can't come to the phone right now... why? CAUSE IT'S DEAD

[illeaillustrated]

How do you choose who is going to be the new cover page?

That kinda depends... *cracks knuckles cause this is gonna be a looooong answer* our first issue had Nate on the cover because ... duh- it's his Selection 😂 Whoever's on the cover is typically the person who we think could really give a great response to a longer interview and someone who we feel that the readers would want to learn more about. Mallory was on the cover for Issue 2 because it was an issue about the royal siblings/ friend... AAAAANNND ILL2 is and always be a magazine that's really in touch with style and fashion and Mal seems obsessed with it so we chose her (plus I had the perfect picture of Mal for the cover 😂) Issue 3 was kinda hard to choose a cover girl becauseeee we wanted a Selected buuuut it was kinda hard to choose a girl. At the same time the rivalries between Fleur, Venus, Victoria, and Stephanie seemed to be heating up sooo we decided on making it a cover contest between the four of them so we wouldn't have the burden to choose and so everyone had a say on who would be on the cover. So that's why Fleur was on the cover cause she had the highest votes. (But making each of the girl's covers was such a delight cause there were so many cool pictures to choose from)Lastly Issue 4's cover girl was chosen from the results of the popularity poll from Issue 3. We wanted it to be one of the favorites of the competition and Eloise seemed like the perfect girl for the cover. Everyone seemed to want to learn more about her too so Yeap! Now that we're going on our fifth issue, we're gonna have to decide on our next cover girl m but HAHAHAHAH don't worry- we'll get an issue published soon after a small holiday vacay by the ILL2 team 😂Thanks for asking! ~ Anya 💖

How did you start this magazine?

Well, Illea Illustrated first started as a concept to me because I really wanted to push my graphic design and layout skills further- ever since I started the Selection OC, the magazines have fascinated me and I wanted in on that crowd. Soooo as soon as Selection OC Season 4 started, I kinda proposed to being a magazine and Chris (my dearest and darlingest partner in crime) had also shown an interest in joining!! So we agreed on what we could do together as ILL2 ( I do layout and Chris does the interviews) and there spawned our first issue with Nate on the cover HAHAHAHAHA Thanks for asking! ~ Anya 💖

Anya: HIIIIIIIII Sorry for this issue being a week late :( As you guys may already know, I was having my midterms examinations and a lot of projects that require the time I usually reserve for editing ILL2- so I only had the time to lay everything out today (yes today HAHAHAHA) and I’m glad that I was able to do everything YAY! I’m on Christmas Break for the next two weeks so we hopefully will see another issue soon. I hope you enjoy this issue, and I’d really just want to thank you guys for all your support. :D Also, shout out to Chris for always being the best co-editor EVER <3 (Also, don’t be afraid to send ILL2 asks!!

Chris: Heeey!!! So the issue is finally here, and it’s looking great! haha. I hope you think it was worth the waiting cause I do ;) I just want to thank you all to be so cooperative and nice at the time of the interviews; personally I have so much fun doing them and getting to know more about your character’s personality… i don’t remember if I had said that before... we would want to know your opinion about the questions, too. I mean if there’s any of them that you don’t like, or you want us to ask your character something that needs to be known, you can tell us about it and if it fits with the issue theme we will add it. ENJOY :D
