Caleb Florence's thoughts on the LIT MAG...

I like the smaller format
I like the variety of photographs and abstract drawings
I like rough layout in contrast between the gas, liquid, solid, plasma format
I like the idea of the themes, but I don't think we should be restricted by it
I like the wide variety of prose, poetry, and stories

I don't like how the majority of the magazine was written in the same font. I think it should be mixed up to influence creativity

I think we can improve on the layout a bit. I think it feels a bit cramped and squished together although that may be just because of the smaller format

Overall, I liked it....

I like the idea of the themes, but I don't think we should be restricted by it. In addition I think we can improve on the layout. I agree it does look cramped, but its hard to prevent that.

I also agree with your idea of mixed fonts, maybe picking one that reflects the tone of the story.
That might increase the aesthetic appeal of the magazine.

I agree with the fact that the lit mag was cramped

The mix of fonts is a fantastic idea. I do agree with you on the themes, and that we shouldn't be restricted.I like ya ideas and they would make the mag great!

I think that some of the pages looked "squished together" and this year we should make an effort to make everything fit neatly. There should definitely be a variety of fonts to grab the attention of the reader.
