      I completed one last run through of my magazine and am extremely happy with the final product.

     Without further ado, here is:  A Young Man's Culture

     I received a substantial amount of feedback from my peers. I received comments as simple as changing up my selling line and as extensive as changing around the entire set up of my contents page. I like these comments because my selling line could use some work and my contents page is somewhat plain and boring and could use some editing on the picture as well as some quotes from the interview in a large font. Another piece of feedback that I received was that my articles on my title page were difficult to see. I will probably end up changing the color or size of the font. Additionally, my peers commented on my title and said it could be better which I agree with. It's not terrible, but it could definitely use some work which I will contemplate about. Some features that my peers liked included my cover picture, my color matching throughout, and my feature article. I believe the state of my project is in a good place. I don't have too much work to do or edits to make to...

I am proud to present the first draft of my magazine: The Young Man's Culture

 I am getting a hang of InDesign as well as in the process of writing my feature article. For InDesign I am having one of my good friends assist me in getting the basics down and will start to move things from my story board to my actual magazine. I've played around with InDesign before but my friend will really help me bring everything together. As for my feature article, with my interview down it should be smooth sailing as I am generally pretty good at writing. With all of the information I was able to get from Brandon I believe the process should go smoothly and I should be finished in no time.
