Magazine Tips

• Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)
• If the cover pops out from its background, don’t weaken it by fussing with it.
• If it is invisible like wallpaper, decide what element is worthy of becoming dominant. 
• Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)
• Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

Future

Next year I don't think i will be taking any classes dealing with journalism or yearbook because I'm in ABLE and it doesn't really have anything to do with my major but i really do hate the fact that i asked for it freshman year and i didn't get it until this year. If i were to have started since freshman year maybe i would continue into yearbook because i think thats interesting but next year i think I'm gonna take different classes. Im thinking of taking accounting for my major and cord, AVID has also been a tremendous help to me i think I'm going to continue to be involved in this program because it is helpful. Then of course my core classes, being a senior i do want to take precautions in not giving myself so much work that i won't be able to accomplish so i want to play it safe and try my best to be as diverse and successful as possible my last year of high school.
