I looked at 1999-2000 and last years.
I liked last years size over the larger size. There was a lot of empty space in the larger size. However, the smaller pages would involve more pages to layout, which would be more work for those working.
In terms of layout, I didn't like the standardized layouts from last year. I think that we could have had more layouts, potentially done by staff members. I think that having individually laid out pages could allow for more creative layouts and layouts fitted to the works on the pages.
I thought that some of the picture from last years litmag were blown up to fit a page, when they should have been smaller.
I liked the random picture on the cover of last years litmag, how there was a story there.
I liked the art in both. It is reliant on the submitters.
I liked how credit was given, seemed fine to me.
Both themes were fine, although the one last year seemed a bit more unified. I couldnt really tell what the theme from 1999-2000 was.
I think that art should also be separate from the literature, as often it distracts from the writing and is unrelated. It never seems to fit. If it had its own corner, I think that the litmag would flow better

I agree with you about the layout and the fact that the biggest version is a little bit empty sometimes, but we have to remember that we are twice than the last year.
I think that we should work all together to the pages' layout!!
I agree about the size of the magazine itself. However, I don't like the idea of a random set of pictures on the cover. We should keep the cover simple, such as the Year that had the clock on it.
I really like the idea of people making their own pages because then everything would be the work of the staff
People making their own pages definitely makes it more creative...but do you think there'd be a way to do that and have it be cohesive?
I agree on art & size.
I agree about the art, I said the same thing in my post: it was distracting.
I also liked last years cover. It was simple and funny, unlike one of the covers I looked at, that you can't even tell what it is unless you know the title (which is not on the cover).
I agree with the comment you made about the randomness of the cover. I also like the smaller Mag and agree on the fact that the credit was adequately given.
I agree that individually made layouts would foster creativity. I however think that art can be paired with the writing if it relates to the writing.
I agree with both ideas about having the art on a separate thing, and also having the size smaller as well. I also thought that people should be in more control of their own page then they have been in the previous years.
I agree with the variety of excellent photos. In contrast with the writing it makes a great visual and intellectual pictures.
