Critique: Department page, round one

This weekend was my first time to design my department page and it is definitely something I think I will get better at. I had one page to design the arts section on and I didn't have enough text to fill the page. This is definitely not a problem I've ever encountered before, at least not where I didn't have extra copy I could stick in. Even though I had an ad on my page, I felt I was struggling to make things fit well. I'm hoping this is my weakest department page this semester because looking back on it there are probably some changes I could have made to it but just didn't think about at the time.  Next time I would like to make a somewhat more dynamic or interesting design even though I'm working within a limited amount of space, which is also new to me.
I'm also working on my final cover pitch for the 2/18 issue and my feature design. I'm feeling newly inspired with a sudden kick of energy this week and hopefully will be able to pull off the design I have in mind. I don't want to give anything away incase it doesn't happen the way I want it to, especially since I'm still working on my Illustrator skills.
