TO THE PRINTER
The OIL SPILL has been sent to the printer. There is a several step revision process from now until the final draft is printed. First, the printer will print out a mock black and white draft for our eyes only. Edits, omissions, and revisions will be made by the OIL SPILL staff and sent back to the printer. A second low quality color draft will be printed and sent to us for another revision. At this time will ask a fellow teacher to look at the magazine with new eyes. Once the magazine has been deemed error free, well laid out, and graphically appealing we will send it back to the printer for the final draft.
So much time goes into crossing the T's and dotting the I's. The OIL SPILL staff has done a fantastic job of getting the student population's best art and writing to you in a beautiful magazine.
