For starters I find that the title of the journal itself is perfect for the content. BLAST says it all in one word. The material within the journal is in your face and grabbing for your attention. The words just pop out at you asking to read them. I think that this journal is very enticing and interesting to read. The way it goes about delivering its information and messages to the reader is unlike many other journals people read at this time. BLAST gives the reader different emotions on every page. There is humor and anger among other things. In many ways this journal can almost appear chaotic. I find that the pictures or rather the art in these pages can tie along with that. I have always found abstracts to be somewhat chaotic. The piece has to be studied in order to really figure out what it is saying or trying to say, in that way I find them chaotic. There are many things that interest me in this journal and as I have read it before and now read it again I am not sure that I can ever get enough of it or fully understand every page, but if nothing else it grabs and holds on tightly to the reader's attention. One of my favorite pages in the journal is 32-33. I find them to be quite interesting and entertaining the way it promotes itself, talking about the disagreeable way America looks at the UK and then agreeing with their opinions.
