Research and Planning: Hollie Keating Sub-Image

This was the image I used for one of the sub-images on my double page spread. I used it for the "In next month's issue...." section.

To make it look more professional, I increased the brightness, lowered the contrast and cropped out the surrounding.

Here, I edited the multimodal aspects of my contents page, using one web link for all 3 of the logos. I also rearranged the logos so that they were all next to each other, and above the link. Another change I made was the title, which I changed to "In This Issue..." instead of "Contents".

I still need to add sub-images, and fill up some blank space.
