    • PaulOwen, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1"Naked Wales
      This Mag covers the design scene in Whales. "

      The design scene in Whales? That's got to be a joke. Not a very good one either.
      • franklymister, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2Whales?

        I assume you mean Wales or Cymru, but get it right.
        • PaulOwen, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1@franklymister

          Frankly Mister, try RTFA from which I was quoting directly. The hint that I was quoting directly is that I used speech marks, like these "This Mag covers the design scene in Whales". Now, that doesn't mean that *I* used "Whales" when I should have used the word "Wales", but the ARTICLE did.

          I really hope that's not too difficult?

          BTW, Parla Inglese?

  • mark076h, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Any PDF Magazines that cover technology?
  • Ryan166, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Those PDF magazines were quite.... inspiring.
  • vyasram, on 04/23/2008, -5/+0A good web designer is a good PDF magazine designer
    • haydesigner, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3Hardly.

      Vastly different skill set. That does not mean a good web design not not be a good publication designer (yeah, that's the term, not PDF magazine designer). But very, very often if one is strong in one, they are weak in the other.

      (as an aside, that is one of the reasons (not the only one, just one) that early web design usually stank, because too many print designer were trying to apply print design rules to the web... and they just don't work like that)
    • cadmiumpaint, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4HAHAHAHA no way. most so called web designer's are nothing more than programmers and flash experts. Yeah yeah you can make cool stuff happen but that doesn't make you a designer. In reality most websites out there are poorly designed (in regards to print rules).... They are just highly functional interfaces. And like haydesigner said, you can't apply print rules to web and vice versa. Two different mediums.

      These PDF mags have more in common with print magazines than anything found on the web. Web people usually can't do good print work and vice versa.




      • solid12345, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4Yep you'd be surprised how many "designers" don't know the difference between CMYK and RGB.
        • cadmiumpaint, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2those are the prob the same people that take those "design classes" at schools that advertise on daytime TV.

    • haydesigner, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1Any reason why, other than you were in it (which, sorry to say, holds very little interest for me)?
  • Djharlock, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1That Gorilla is doing it wrong.

    • ism70605, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1If PDFs are so bad then what do you use? PDFs are great at what they do. I use them all the time to make books.
    • solid12345, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Well by all means we have the .DOC or even better the .PPT version for you, good luck with those.
  • fudged71, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1check out the latest edition of my faculty's student-run "The Onion"-like engineering newsletter - http://ess.ucalgary.ca/downloads/gag/2008_Issue_10 ... I get a good laugh from it often, and it is pretty well made

  • Stonekeeper, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2"This Mag covers the design scene in Whales."
    The magazines may be inspirational, but this editor spells like a 9 year old.
    • franklymister, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2They must have fixed it. It's spelled Wales now.
  • gypsyjoe, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1PDF and inspirational - it's not often you see those two words in the same sentence.
