Do you think anyone would read it?

So my final project for a publication design class was to create a magazine. Hence, Speak came to fruition. You can read about my inspiration in the letter from the editor.
I was quite irritated to discover I could not upload a pdf version...so I have spent the past 45 minutes exporting to jpgs and uploading each spread. Hopefully it is still readable because I would love to hear some feedback.
Even though I was required to create every dot and tittle of the writing and the design, (all these ads are fake!), the real purpose of this magazine is to display the work of talented, unpublished artists and writers. I would love to see submissions from amateur photographers, writers, painters and graphic design artists.
This magazine is meant to be a reader-interactive publication which will include well-researched and clearly composed political pieces, literary compositions and photo spreads to inspire, among other pieces. Please excuse my humble piece...does it have a chance for growth?

My very first....

Perhaps everyone who begins a blog begins with some trepidation. I am still learning how to navigate layout features and how to downsize all the enormous photos I would like to upload.
I am still trying to decide if posting poetry and photography is wise...It is so easy to steal an individual's work these days and take credit for it. Time will tell how trusting I become of this internet business :)
As I am writing, the early signs of morning are etching the sky. The gray-blue sky is dawning as a few particles of light are pushing past the awning branches that attempt to shroud them with their foliage.
And it's Friday. Perhaps I will have something of merit to say in the near future. I have no theme. I am a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to my varied interests....someday I hope to be a master-of-some.
