Thanks, Hollins, my alma mater, for a reminder that I need to find a balance in my grad school life. #womengoingplaces #my糖心传媒<\/p>\n

I just read as much as I could of the latest edition of Hollins<\/em> magazine. I say \u201cas much as I could\u201d because the layout\/design prevented me from reading the magazine in its entirety. Reason? Color choices and size of type. Most especially, I was unable to read the \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d column on Larry Becker because the type was tiny, and black on a brown<\/em> background. My level of frustration went off the charts. What were your designers thinking?<\/p>\n

Just because a design choice is pretty, or edgy, or whatever, doesn\u2019t make it functional.<\/p>\n

I am a member of the class of 1974, which makes me in my (upper) mid-60s. For alumnae of my age, our eyes aren\u2019t what they were even 10 or 15 years ago. Please keep us older alumnae in mind when you lay out the magazine.<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s response:<\/strong> We agree with you and have taken steps to improve readability by running the profiles and class letters in larger type and monitoring background colors.<\/p>\n

We want to hear from you for the Letters to the Editor page.
