Judge Comment: Solid issue. Couple of spacing issues between headlines and stories, and I'd avoid spreading photos out instead of grouping them together where able, but this is still good work!

Contestant Name: St. Mary's University
Entry Title: Vol. 112 Issue 06

Judge Comment: Love that you tried to do some big, bold designs. That takes guts, and guts are half the job. watch for where wrapping text makes the text look weird or hard to read and I'd go lighter or less solid on background colors, but those things aside, this is very promising.

Judge Comment: Designers show fundamental knowledge of guiding principles and also lots of potential. Avoid dropping photos in the middle of text and instead anchor those at the top of columns and spanning full column widths. Otherwise, good entry.
- Competition Comment: Lots of potential here! Love to see it. General guidance is to use text wrapping in a very "follow-the-rules" way: Group art and don't crowd the type. But this category shows a ton of promise and excited for these designers' futures.
