New Report Look (#19)

After posting Multi polls on  my Weekly Reports, I‘ve decided to test a newer layout. I hope this will be an improvement & cut down on unwanted/ non useful areas.
Any and All thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
If this does not work, the Weekly Reports will fall back to the old format.

Tips- Multi Arts- Research
Researching or studying a subject matter can be helpful to multi art fields.
When you research a potential subject/subject matter you gain a better understanding of the subject and may be able to plan a better approach for capturing that subject.
Research can consist of looking at reference photos, studying others methods & approaches, or reading some history of the subject matter.
