literary magazine

In last year's lit mag I liked the incorporation of graphics into the text. The theme also helped the flow of the issue and made a smooth transition between the different groups (solid, liquid, gas, plasma). The different graphics, layouts, and fonts kept it interesting, though sometimes the contrast was overwhelming. Some of the photos were fuzzy, and I would hope that we wouldn't have that problem this year. Different from previous literary magazines, the one last year seemed to reach the target audience better. Basically, the older ones looked boring, and I was less excited about reading them. 

Oh, and personally I like the smaller pages better.

Well thought out ideas! I agree that the Lit Mag could feel a little overwhelming with super mosaic looking photo collection! Good thinking!

Just like you, I also think that the graphics of last year's magazine did a lot to enhance its aesthetic appeal. I also agree that size matters, and that a smaller size is preferable. Furthermore, I also agree that the previous year's magazines were more boring to read, even if the quality of literature was still high.
After reading your thoughts, I am convinced you really put 110% effort into the activity, and I really respect that.
