Review:

Bear in mind that there are a lot of magazines out there 'really trying to take' their 
graphics 'somewhere'. Nothing wrong with a bit of well-judged restraint too, especially if the first 
hurdle is just to get it past looking amateurish in a bad, church circular, provincial financial services 
brochure way. I think I could do something with it and I'd like to have a try. The first one, by the by, 
where you played it straighter, I think did look better.

As for content, the coach and horses approach for the Free Art Fair was effective. How about trying 
something similar - starting with a big page of scribbles, doodles, notes? Not necessarily for 
publication, though some of it might make it in, but as a way of working out what should be in the 
magazine.
