Fixing a bike, mending a jacket, a repair cafe on campus. (Issue 4 was about campus gardens; please no more vegetables on the cover.)\n\nPrinting: risograph at the library print shop, 2 inks only: fluorescent pink #FF48B0 and teal #00838A. Paper is off-white.\n\nLook: risograph grain, overlapping ink, slightly off-register, bold shapes.\n\nCover layout: our masthead \"GREEN LOOP\" plus \"Issue 5\" will be added on top by our designer. Cover size: half-letter, portrait.\n\nIdeas from members:\n- \"Put a famous outdoor clothing brand's patch on the mended jacket, they're known for repairs.\"\n- \"Add a quote about repair across the bottom.\"\n- Someone likes the idea of hands sewing a patch onto a jacket next to a bike wheel with a wrench.","rules":[{"type":"maxWords","max":100},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Not naming the tool","why":"Without \"Midjourney\", the AI skips --ar 2:3.","fix":"Add: \"End with --ar 2:3 --no text, logos.\"","checks":["r0"]},{"title":"No room for the masthead","why":"The art fills the top, where GREEN LOOP goes.","fix":"Add: \"Top 20% empty.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Mixing up issues","why":"The notes mention the garden issue, and the AI may drift to vegetables.","fix":"Add: \"Theme: repair.
