Now that we are making more progress with the magazine, we are changing the topic, sort of. We are changing the magazine from a general tabloid to just a tabloid that covers the events in history that were like alka-seltzer tablets -- that were upheavals in history.
The events are like alka-seltzer tablets in the sense that they affect everything else thats going on around the event, like an alka-seltzer tablet does when it's placed in water. (Thanks Mr. Janus, for the idea :) )
That being said, our time periods are:
1. The Renaissance
2. The Enlightenment
3. The 20's
4. The 60's
Those events all cover time periods that were major cultural changes.
We started discussing various topics to cover for the Enlightenment, but everyone needs to suggest a topic here:
Also, read what other people have posted, because I won't count your contribution if someone else already said it.
Post away!!!

does the sun king count as part of the enlightenment? i posted on aonther post earlier- if we're trying to keep things parallel, i have a sex scandel with louis XIV. let me know if that works..
I think we should have a section on the scientific revolution of the enlightenment with descriptions of new inventions, technology, and scientists that created them. Then I think there should be an editorial-type part where people express their opinions on new technology: some may like it and some may not.
I like Natalia's idea, but I think instead of an editorial we should have reviews of new tech. We should also have a section about popular and elite culture etiquette. OH! It should be a quiz!! Like, you have various situations and two reactions and one corresponds to pop culture and the other to elite culture.
i'm still thinking about the articles (But i'm interested in the new views of the universe), but making we could somehow incorporate the "alka-seltzer" idea into the artwork. maybe for the cover we could draw certain things from all the time periods exploding out of a glass with an alk-seltzer in it. i don't know... weird i dea.
it's the alka-seltzer tabloid! lke tablet... get it?
