Your platform. Your playground. Your Vertigo.
The Big Vertigo is a platform, a playground, a public noticeboard. It is a zine. It is a scrapbook. It is a messy, moving thing. And it only works because of you.
Vertigo is UTS’s student-run creative magazine, made by and for students for over 50 years. The Big Vertigo is the open-door version — a community-made edition shaped by your voices, your scribbles, your chaos, your questions, your joy, your heartbreak, your protest, and your poetry.
This is not your standard scrapbook nor a polished magazine. This is your chance to write something raw. Share something strange. Take the mic before you know what you are going to say. The Big Vertigo is a living noticeboard of student voices—growing, shifting, and entirely yours.
We believe culture is not something you watch, rather it is something you do. It is not locked in galleries or behind paywalls. It is in your notes app, your voice memos, your journal margins. It is what you make when no one is watching. You do not need a title or a portfolio, you just need a spark. Do not wait to be chosen. You are already in; this is already yours. This is your platform to create something bigger than yourself. The blank pages are waiting for your story. The mic is live and you have the floor. - 2025 Vertigo Editorial Team
How it works
- Grab a pen, crayon, sticker, ribbon — anything from the table.
- Choose a prompt or go rogue. Doodle, write, collage, confess, rant, or create.
- Stick your piece into one of the giant scrapbooks.
This is your invitation to take up space in the creative conversations at UTS. Who knows? What you create might even end up in print.
Make it weird. Make it wonderful. Just make it yours.
This is your Vertigo now.
