Take a GOOD LOOK at this page in Google Classroom

Take a GOOD LOOK at this page

This page is our MODEL page and this is what we should look at before we design / redesign our own pages.
What I really love about this is that the TEXT is in a proper font... a magazine article text should not be one of the "headline" fonts. To make this feel more like a magazine, I really encourage you to use proper black text and either Avant Guard or Primer Print fonts. I am making this an actual assignment for you to view carefully. THANK YOU! And when in doubt, ask Sofia Kinsella for her opinion.
