Perspective Nov 2008 Distributed
For those who remember the previews I gave of the first Perspective issue, I’m proud to announce that just a couple days ago the second issue of Perspective has been published and delivered, all waiting for distribution this coming Monday. Yet again, I haven’t got my camera out to take a picture of the published edition (always looks better in print!) but what I do have is more screenshotted thumbnails, just like last time.
This month’s issue features a happy yellow design, adorned with silhouetted acrobats on each page, as well as slightly modified first page. I actually had some ideas for a-pimpin style but schedule clashes prevented these from being realised this issue – perhaps the next issue might get some love? This issue was done with Adobe InDesign, as per request from somebody who dealt with the printers last time, but turns out that’s not what they want at all. I plan to take this into my own hands and organise the printers myself for the next issue.
The .pdf is not up for download due to some space issues I’d rather not provoke, but hopefully a proper photograph of the printed issues with good lighting will make up for it (in the unforeseeable future).
Ah, enough of the waffle and syrup, here there be previews! (Again, click on the image to get a higher resolution image)
Again, apart from the compulsory usage of InDesign, a great deal of open-source applications/projects were used in the creation of this magazine. Including The GIMP, Vim, OpenOffice and Gentoo Linux. Yet again, open-source has not failed to contribute!
Unfortunately, there will not be a December issue, but there will be one released sometime early January or so. I wonder what colour to do for the next one … green?
