According to Shine 19, “Best Overall Content is an award that really considers every aspect of the work put into a project and how it thematically succeeds. The Wheatleyan does just that.” Judges commended an ‘outstanding magazine’ saying it had a ‘very clear editorial direction’. They went on to praise ‘the layout, the content and everything about it’, describing a ‘great and extremely professional student publication’. Assessing The Wheatleyan, the judges found a textbook case of a well-edited magazine. “There’s an evenness of f low to this publication from beginning to
end which speaks of a sound vision. Judges felt that every aspect of The Wheatleyan was tightly focussed. The quality of the design and written features felt cohesive and to a very high standard. It’s clear that Adam had his eye all over every aspect of this very strong magazine and the voice of an amply capable editor shone through. Well done.” We congratulate Mr Mark Woodward, the students and other members of staff involved in the many hours of hard work that made such an impressive publication for Bablake. We could not be more proud!
