I went through a lot of editing and trying out different formats on how to make this feature spread exactly what I wanted a lot of back and forth. I first changed the background and added a sticker I even changed the main photo used. I added other photos I thought fit perfectly in this spread that I just could not leave out. I really do love the flow of the spread and everything. The process took a while but the end result was worth it.

Interview #2
1. When was the first time you have seen or experienced gender inequality?
-" It was at age 15 I was a freshman in high school. My teacher asked for a volunteer to pass out the history books and when I volunteered my teacher said 'No let one of the boys do it." I had protested against it and said "why can't I ?" the teacher responded with " the books are too heavy for a girl." In disbelief, I got up and grabbed four books at a time, and started handing the book out to my fellow classmates. Every class after that my teacher would complain and argue about how I would distribute the history books I educated the teacher on how what he said was sexist and disrespectful. The teacher apologized and since that year he tells the stories to everyone."
2. How did that make you feel?
-" It initially made me feel little and weak. And then out of nowhere I got angry and knew better."
3. How did you know how to go about it?
-" I thought of the most peaceful way, I had no idea."
4. Were you scared that you were gonna get in trouble for protesting?
-"Of course, but I still did it for the future generation."
Someone called 18 people in the city last night. The caller identified himself as the president of Rutherford Ford, Inc., 2780 Doss Boulevard. He told each of the people that they had just won a new car from his dealership. Interviewed by reporters today, most of the people who received the calls said that at first they just couldn't believe it. And they were right. They couldn't. The person who called was a prankster, and Allen Rutherford, president of the dealership, says he has no idea who placed the calls, and that he's spending all his time today trying to explain the situation to those 18 people. "Someone apparently has a sick idea of humor," Rutherford said. After convincing people they had won a new car, the caller asked them to drop by the dealership this morning to pick it up. All 18 were there when the dealership opened its doors at 9 a.m. "I told them we never offered to give away a car," Rutherford said. "One woman told me she couldn't believe she'd won, and then she told me she couldn't believe it when I told her she hadn't. Two other women began to cry, and a man is threatening to sue me."
Bright and early in the morning 18 people stand in front of the car dealership awaiting their free car. The president of Rutherford Ford Inc., Allen Rutherford arrived that morning in confusion and has been trying to understand and explain the situation to these 18 individuals who received a mysterious call saying that they won a free car. Many people in tears and others in frustration as one man tried to sue the dealership. All of this work and confusion was from one unknown caller, a prankster. "Someone apparently has a sick idea of humor," Rutherford said.
