Flat Plan

Here is my flat plan. Below are reasons for my article choices:

• Kettle of Fish: Keeps the readers in the know regarding the area's most famous and influential cover band and up to date if the reader already knew of the group.

• What's New in Sarasota?: Keeps readers up to date and informed about new art events in the area such as the Sarasota Chalk Festival, or a new snuff film at the Burn's Court Cinema, or a new exhibit at the Ringling Museum of Art.

• Seagulls: Next Photography Sensation: Honestly, this was a article I made up for the absurdity of the headline. If it were a real article, I would imagine that its purpose would be to shed some light on the next photography fad and perhaps portray seagulls in a new light.

• The Art of the Abstract: Informs readers of the abstract movement (in art) and its significance to painting as a whole.

• Game Design: Hobby or Artform?: Intended to be a debate-format article where two experts would debate on whether or not game design is a legitimate artform.

• Featured Pieces of the Month: Highlights extraordinary pieces of visual art (paintings, sculptures, and photographs) on display in Sarasota. Done monthly. Informs the reader of great pieces of art in the area.

• Spotlight!: Working Stage Crew: Highlights an often undervalued part of theatrical performance: working as tech and crew. Informs readers of how much goes on behind the scenes to create their favorite stage productions.

• Featured Creator: Alvin Wallace: Informs readers of an exceptional artist whose work has contributed to the Sarasota area. If that's actually the name of a Sarasota County artist, it's purely coincidental. I don't actually know anyone named Alvin Wallace.

• Events Schedule: Similar to "What's New in Sarasota?" but looks several months forward.

• Letter from the Editor: Exactly what it sounds like. Thanks the readers for reading the magazine.
