Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. This is a student blog about the progress of a publication project, a magazine of my own invention. Since I enjoy riding a sportbike of my own, I figured I could put together some information about sportbikes, upcoming or past rides, and basically anything that has to do with the sportbike culture. I'm not biased, mind you, but I just prefer a sportbike, so ANY breed of biker is more than welcome to share their input, but please be objective. I don't claim to be an expert on this subject, I just enjoy it and thought to create this publication for this project. You can follow along with my progress and hopefully I won't lose you, or myself, in the process. Thanks and enjoy!

The Beginning

OK, so I missed the first week of class and am in the middle of playing catch up.......not all that much fun, but a student's gotta do what a student's gotta do. For my first "quickie layout" in class, it turned out to be a bit of a flop in my opinion, but I had a few things to come up with, like a logo and how I wanted it to look, so I guess that's my only excuse. I haven't gotten a chance to get our textbook yet, so I can't really comment on the reading @ this point, but I obviously still have quite a bit to learn when it comes to "crunch time" projects. Hopefully I'll get better as the quarter progresses.

As far as my color scheme for this project, right now I'm sticking with reds, greys, black, & white, although there may be a change or two along the way, you can follow along with that here if you like. Hopefully this won't become overly boring and monotonous, and if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. Constructive criticism is a good learning tool and any good points you'd like to point out are appreciated as well. Thanks!
