Magazine Progress

So far, we have decided on about 3/4's of the articles and topics we are going to write about. Thanks to Lexie, the designer who helped us, we are thinking about adding a few fashion, but not like vogue, to our magazine. We will be starting our writing hopefully by the end of this week and be off the ground the next.

About Us

We are four freshmen who were grouped together to write a magazine on a specific theme that meets all of our interests. One of our authors, Kiki, likes books and TV shows. Alibaba likes playing video games and music. Chicken Wingz likes modern art and movies. Haagen likes photos and local art. We decided to group all of our interests into one theme: modern culture. We have collaborated ideas to make this blog and we present it now.
