New Form for Quoth the Raven
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2005 1:39 pm
Greetings from the Pit,
Here at the fraternity, we've been busy putting together the latest issue of Qouth the Raven, for publishing in October. Between the ink-drinking and the paper-airplane fights, we've found time to experiment with new layouts for the netbook.
After a campaign of extorsion and blackmail, we have obtained professional grade publishing software and begun creating a bold new layout for everyone's favourite magazine.
However, there are some snags. Our snazy new layout is baded on creating a real book, which means double sided pages, headers that switch from right to left page, blank pages to keep the title pages on the right hand side, the whole enchilade. Problem with that, though, is that none of that is necessary if someone was reading it off the web.
As well, the software used is quite efficient at making pdf documents - but not so keen on making word documents. If we switch over, we may not be able to offer the issue in word document format.
So, the big question is what is best?
Do you perfer your netbooks to be books? PDFS? Or word documents?
