It all comes to a Sweaty End

This year's Sweat Magazine in my opinion is like no other. On Friday afternoon I had the opportunity to see our magazine printed in rough but in colour. It looked absolutely amazing.

The brilliant art director, Simon Yau, with the help of Val Maloney, single handily created a masterpiece. He taught himself and others in the class In Design and mastered the program quickly. His eye for detail really shows in the magazine.

Every page has a selected colour scheme, shape and layout that is unique but yet matched perfectly to the previous page. The photos are carefully selected to best describe the story that accompanies it. Overall I am very proud to say that I contributed to this magazine.

I am very excited for the magazine to officially go to print this week and even more ecstatic to see the magazine in its entirety. Even though things got a little mixed up this semester and I was supposed to be in the broadcast section, I have no regrets about sucking it up this semester and working on the magazine with some fabulous journalists who have shown to be what dedication means. Like I mentioned in my previous blog, the executive team showed just that. It made me want to work harder and produce an even better article to show them and the teachers that I was capable. I was even prouder when Carey French himself, told me that my article was well written.

Does is make me consider about thinking about staying in print...I don't think so! I think that print gave me some valuable training.
