Magazine Prelim DONE!

I finished my preliminary magazine piece today. My last post stated that i had almost completed it, yet i hadn't at this point added any text to the magazine. However, during my lunch today, i managed to completely finish the magazine. Following my initial plan, I entered all of the main headlines onto the front of my magazine. Yet, halfway through doing so, i recognized that there was a running theme throughout all of the headlines; they seemed to feature elements of what students want to do with their future. Therefore, i decided to make my magazine as if it were a one-off special issue of the normal magazine. In order to make this seem more believable, i decided to write an introductory editors note just before the contents which was inspired by one of my favorite magazines: 'Look.' I think that this note addressed the audience directly which would be very welcoming to the reader.
   In the end, i chose to keep the title as the original Gordano logo with the stamp over the 'school.' This is mainly because it gives off the effect that students are rebelling over a typical magazine. However, whilst considering this, i have come up with changing the name of the magazine to 'The Gordano Takeover,' which would again add to the idea of rebellion as 'Takeover' is a much more possessive and powerful word.
