Final Draft: BadDog

     While I would not classify this as a masterpiece, I do believe that my final draft is a much-needed improvement on my previous one. Th e improvements I have made have created a better tone for the magazine and have made it more aesthetically pleasing in my opinion . I do hope that this will remain true in the eyes of others, as this is a product that, while not the best, I am glad to put my name to.

The other major piece of feedback I received was that I should add a color to my pages in order to make the background less unnecessarily bright   as it looked with a white background. To make up for this, I used a rectangular box the same size as the page and turned it to a light shade of blue. I then used the arrange feature t o send it to the very back of the layer. I feel that this, while not some huge and grand improvement, does make my magazine less straining on the eyes, and therefore improves...
