This is the current state of my table of contents. I’m fine with the left, not the right. I was inspired by menu layouts. 

The plan: Replace the chef photo with a chalkboard themed listing. The wood grain will be kept as an outline/frame for the chalkboard. The biggest hurdle is figuring out a good chalk menu font to go with. I plan to add blurbs for the features, as well.

The first thing I changed was the page number design. Since Gluttony is food-themed, I want the numbers to reflect that. 

The circles make a dinner plate. I’m debating the addition of utensils to make it clearer. It took some playing to remember how to update page numbers and the master but I figured it out. I’m happy with the outcome currently.

Long time, No posting

It’s time for a personal project to make its way onto this blog. 

For a publishing class, we were given a semester to make a magazine. It was tons of hard work and great fun. Then, I graduated and forgot all about the awesome work I did and amazing skills I learned. Two years later, I find my magazine when cleaning out my car. I was fucking talented. I had grit. I was driven. My ideas were original, thoughtful, and funny. They were also sitting uselessly in the passenger seat pouch of my car.

With time on my hands and no luck in getting the writing career I want, I have decided to dust off the CS skills and complete the magazine. Gluttony magazine will go from concept to reality. Lorem ipsum will disappear, pages will be added, and edits will be made. Since Gluttony is a food magazine, its relevant to this blog and progress posts will be made here. 

Let’s do this.
