What If? has gone to a new larger page, reduced the text on our pages and added more colour and graphics in every area of the magazine. How do you feel about the overall look of the redesigned magazine?
The Perspectives editorial section has now been changed to two columns with more graphics to create a more open feel. How would you rate your satisfaction level with this section?
Our poetry section was designed to offer more opportunities for publication by putting more than one poem per page and omitting the photo and bio of the contributors in all but the contest winning poems. The goal was also to create more space for YA artwork and photography to make the section more colourful and vibrant. What is your reaction to the new-look poetry section?
Short stories are now being created in two basic formats; full page background illustrations or with half or quarter page illustrations interspersed with the text. The photos and bios have been eliminated in all but the contest winning stories and the title page graphics have been redesigned. Please rate your satisfaction with both story designs:
-Full page background illustrations
-Illustrations interspersed with the text
