There must be a way to avoid this change.

What program did you use for this? You're going to need the right program if you want Raymag at it's best. Adobe InDesign is perfect for things such as magazines and books, because unlike Photoshop, InDesign works with vectors.

I was doing it in Publisher at first, but then Xenon doesn't have Publisher so I couldn't send it to him if he wanted to do anything, so I had done it in Word. However, turning it into a .pdf file either way has ruined the quality of the images. So I'll have a look at that InDesign thing... (I'm presuming it doesn't cost anything...)

Even with Word, you should be able to improve the pagination a lot

Actually normally it does cost quite alot like Photoshop if getting it legally, but it can be downloaded through torrents if I recall right. I happen to have InDesign CS2 myself thanks to the help of my nephew. It's also harder to get used to than in Photoshop. But because I use it almost daily at school, I can already do alot with it. Word can't put backgrounds behind the words either (correct me if I'm wrong on that one) While Indesign makes easy backgrounds to use on each page you create.

Raymag should be sponsored by BRAWNDO!!

[Xenon]

I've often considered downloading/buying Publisher, but if I can read the Raymag through other software I see no point...

[Joshua822]

There are open source alternatives for vectors tough. Inkscape for example. Well, if the problem is Publisher itself i can't help you ( yet )

RayMag should have a "Sig of the Month". And I would like to enter.

[El Dango]

Nah, i don't like that idea. Sig rating is enough. Your sig is still funny though.

[Xenon]

It's too big though. I detest scrolling down unnecessarily.

[Joshua822]

That quite of Tobbe is hilarious

[Holy Crap]

Nah, i don't like that idea. Sig rating is enough. Your sig is still funny though.

I agree, that sig is quite awesome.

I am actually trying to make a good template in PS.

[Holy Crap]

Also, should we use the Rayman Font for it?

[Jman]

It doesn't really look that good.

[Joshua822]

Maybe for titles and headlines...

[Holy Crap]

It doesn't really look that good.

Why not? I like it.

[Joshua822]

Yeah, the layout is pretty good for a first issue of a fan magazine.
