It looks very attractive and cute! However, yes, on the second page, something does seem to be missing. The colorful colors on the top corner of the page is making that page too heavy on one side. Somehow, you have to figure out how to balance the picture... But I LOVE IT!

Extremely well done, seemless line, dark and cartoony. No color blurs, and a unique job. G-job, I am curious to how you did it.

ah, thanks! ^^ i photographed all the pics.. so hard not to get a glare. i had made thumbnails earlier to what kind of look i wanted the layout, and i really liked the perspective of the pocky, so i took pics of closely what i had in mind. a lot of photoshop adjustments to levels, brightness/contrast, and hue/saturation as well, and changed the initial 180 dpi to 300 dpi for the layout (glad it wasn't too blurry).

after editing sizes with the pictures, placed them in indesign, and did some editing in there ^^

hope my teachers are equally enthused =0=

Oooh I love it! And you did the photography yourself too? Very nice job xd It's fun and quirky without being to the point where its difficult to read. The cuteness and clean colours go well with the article (Computer Arts right? I remember reading it a month or so ago xd ). I think the right hand side looks fine at this point, if it was as busy as the left it would be way too much.
