First, the placement: 1]VLM[MZ^QVOTaJMKWUM\PMÅZ[\\ZIKMWN P]UIV^WQKMQV\PQ[ MAGAZINE 56-page book in which I did little of the writing. The second idea runs parallel: There is an underlying assumption in the nature of write. design. shoot. [email protected] these letters assuming I’m in a position to speak for everyone — like I’ve stamped some Seal of Approval, headed it at the top with an overgenerous title assigning too much credit to my position, and signed it via tablet at the bottom. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Pat Siebel That said, there’s a formal nature we adhere to everyday that ASSISTANT EDITOR Shawnte Posley I must follow as well. These letters, though wildly unimaginative ART DIRECTOR Tori Jordan and devoid of any creative adrenaline, are a standard magazine requirement, and as distasteful as they are, the sort of COPY EDITORS J. Thomas Minton UM\IXPWZQKITUQLLTMÅVOMZIV\QQZWVaWN WUQ\\QVOQ\IT\WOM\PMZQ[ Amanda Taylor equally as repulsive. It also deprives me of a space to broadcast Katie Holland my thankfulness. So that’s what I’ll do here. Thank you to everyone who has made Tempo a success this WRITERS Amanda Taylor year — writers, designers, copy-editors, advisors, the teachers who Katie Holland inspire in us the interest to report, etc., etc., on and on. I’d name Pat Siebel each and every one of you if Tori, our talented Art Director, Ray Taylor wouldn’t chide me — as must be done at times — for disregarding Owen Macleod space limitations. I’ve been fortunate to work alongside a great Daniel Miller team this year.
