narrative

As the project manager for the upcoming college magazine, I was faced with the daunting task of assigning roles to Emily, Mark, and Kelly. Our shared mission was to infuse vibrancy into a blank canvas, transforming it into a captivating publication. The challenge lay in deciding who would be responsible for crafting compelling articles and who would take on the intricate task of designing the layouts. As I stared into the looming uncertainty, I knew that tough choices were on the horizon.

Emily, with her restrained eloquence, was known for her ability to express her thoughts with razor-sharp clarity when her voice was replaced with the stroke of a pen. Her unyielding nature had led her to override Mark's decisions several times - creating a slowly overfilling cup of turmoil. Still, she seemed dedicated to her writing, contributing to the school newspaper now and then, despite receiving mixed reviews for her inconsistent brilliance in words.

But as it was, Emily always seemed out of her depth when it came to visual arts. A fact she had broadcast herself with her lack of interest in any such endeavors. Her persistent critique of Kelly's handwriting hinted at a conscious distance from the design realm. Additionally, her lack of affinity for spatial thinking further strengthened the same notion. A problematic situation, considering visuals were key to our project.

Poor Kelly, a true artist, felt cornered often - her creative ideas unappreciated by Mark and her self-esteem shot down by Emily's constant critique. Her youthful inspiration replaced with a feeling of exclusion, had managed to channel her frustration into her art - creating masterpieces that echoed her unvoiced laments. Her world was colored by the strokes of a paintbrush and the scratch of a pencil on paper. She had a unique approach, one that communicated through obscure geometrics and audacious colors.

Kelly had never written any serious prose, her contribution to literature limited to bite-sized paragraphs. She was in her element while immersed in her art, creating spectacular design formats when lost among crayons and color palettes. I knew for sure that she needed to be in an environment where her art spoke louder than words.

Then came Mark, a senior member with experience under his belt. A two-year veteran it the school newspaper, his forte was producing top-tier written content, grabbing awards for his works along the way. But his rigid approach towards traditional design methods and hesitant acceptance of Kelly's innovations bore another problem altogether. He too had experience in designing layouts, having taken up layout duties for the school newspaper - a nod towards his capabilities to handle the visual front as well.

Caught in a web of talents and contrasts, it was upon me to find a way through this, to shape the storm into a spectacle of rainbows. Will Emily's written eloquence guide us through the feature articles, or will her influence tip the scales in a different direction? Will Kelly's artistry finally find the appreciation it deserves, or will the brush of critique paint over her unique colors? Could Mark find a balance between his established writing skills and budding design abilities or would his traditional views impair his judgement?

My decision lay on the horizon, the suspense hanging precariously like a drop at the edge of a leaf - ready to tilt over the edge and shape the destiny of our college magazine. And, without a doubt, the story of Emily, Mark, and Kelly.
