Doorways (The Holton-Arms School) is thoughtfully planned, written, and edited. It features a solid editorial mix about the school and current students, as well as alumni.
Overall, Doorways is beautifully designed. Someone here is thinking about how images enhance storytelling-something we wished we had seen in more magazines. The photographs and illustrations enhance the content. We loved the photographs of HIV-positive indigenous Canadians. An interesting feature about one alumna's experience living in Italy was beautifully designed and photographed. There were a few design missteps: a large quote that ran across the gutter was very hard to read and at least one feature story design was overly busy with graphics screened behind text.
"This magazine has ‘real' content. I loved the international flavor of the stories: lessons learned in Italy. A researcher in Egypt. A photographer in Vietnam."
"Excellent print quality. Finally! Someone who knows how to print on uncoated paper."
"Reconsider the fonts in Class Notes-specifically, the font you're using for people's names. It's really hard to read."
