Critique

I disliked that there were very little drawings in the paper. We could of used more drawn pictures as well. We could of tried to use pictures to break up text better on the Opinions and News areas of the paper. I do however like the ideas used in the backgrounds for stories. If we use less pictures perhaps we could try more background pictures?
      Something that goes with the story but at least catches the readers attention. I also liked the way headings are styled. Maybe we should try that with more lengthy stories? I liked how this paper was more colorful than the last. Perhaps that would help to draw the reader in, something flashy to start the story off, nothing beats a good title. That's what usually draws people into stories.                            
    The idea of Santa's gift list was priceless. Job well done on that, the new styles are somewhat flashy and make the paper more interesting to read.
    I disliked the stories that consisted of nothing but words. I love to read but er.. I've heard that the newspaper didn't exactly come off as, "enjoyable", now due to those lengthy stories. I can't say I disagree fully or agree fully. But I do see where those people come from[not naming any].
     I think we should try to use less graphs. Teenagers are our main target and using things like graphs aren't exactly the best idea, but that is a nice touch. Certainly new and colorful so a nice addition but for the age group not exactly the best idea.
   I like how for the stories there is the person's name to let the reader know who wrote it, I don't like how they don't stand out. Same size as the text in the story? That's lame.. We should try to turn it into a bigger font, not the same size as the heading of the story, but trying to bold it and make it more noticeable.
