Letter From Editor Comp


Please, someone proof this for me?
(I need to talk to ya'll about contributors, and how we want them profiled.)

First thing I noticed is that the black is a little hard to read on the cyan. I would suggest using a ghosted box or screening the cyan back a bit if you want to keep the black text. Otherwise, play with a tint of 100% yellow, or one of the other colors in the palette.

Make sure to turn the hyphenation off in the paragraphs--it makes it a lot easier to read ragged right with it isn't hyphenated.

"Beginning" is misspelled in the second paragraph, and then just to be nit-picky, you use a lot of adjectives.

That's all I saw. Yeah.

So I agree with Bethany and saw a typo or two, but nothing that some keen editing won't fix. Also, when inquiring about the contributors, I have some advice: from the assignment sheet. "List the following titles with names of the contributors: editor in chief, creative director, designers, photographers, writers and illustrators."

So, I guess that could either be us, or just invent made up names... whatever you decide.

Wait, actually, I realized I've been putting my name in the by-lines, so just put our names.

Other than that, I think it looks great!
