The PAGE magazine team has hit an unprecedented detour.

Kicking off the year with a creative, engaging, and decidedly difficult topic, the first meeting of PAGE promised a magazine with an intriguing concept. Part jewel heist and part CSI case file, the theme idea oozed a sense of mystery and suspense. With an unfulfilled ‘whodunit’ ending, the concept would have left our readers flustered, yet at the same time, inexplicably satisfied.  

As we bounced design concepts back and forth, the issue of maintaining the integrity of submitted work began to emerge. We realized that we needed to change our course somehow.

And here we are. 

So what should be our next step? We’ve discussed the concepts of geocaching and the like as we try to preserve the essence of an enigmatic, decodable, mysterious theme—a la Dan Brown (with an entertaining link to a Dan Brown plot generator for your perusal). 

This lends itself to consideration: should our theme actually lead anywhere? Should there be a tangible prize for the most inquisitive Woodson student? Art? A plaque? A pat on the back?

food for thought!
