The assignment was to complete a two page newspaper layout, but the content wasn't the important aspect. Focus on the design elements, and let me know what you think! Thanks.

Interviewing
Will the nervousness I feel before I conduct an interview ever go away?
I channel my photography professor as I open my door, “No one has ever died from this…” took a deep breath, and I greeted Ethan. I had a project to interview a student, who wasn’t majoring in the same thing as I am, and find his or her passion. Sounded simple enough in class, so why now, at the time of my interview, am I becoming increasingly sweaty and nervous? To be completely honest, I chose Ethan out of curiosity and ease. Ethan lives across the hall from me in my apartment building; however, aside from casual hellos and goodbyes, we’ve never had much of a real conversation. I stopped him in the parking lot last week and asked if he would mind me interviewing him. Then the time came…and inside I panicked. I wondered if the questions building up so effortlessly inside would flow as freely when it came time to say them out loud, and as my Professor Lofflin had promised, they didn’t, and probably wouldn’t for a while. Lofflin had admitted to still getting nervous before interviews, and I consider him to be so knowledgeable in the area. The thought of never being as good at this as I once assumed I would become was terrifying for me, however it seems I am not alone…I sought advice from the all-knowing internet and was shocked the amount of information available to me. Below is an article I found to be light and insightful.
