Editing the company newsletter is proving more complex than I'd anticipated.
Strike that... lemme elaborate by saying that editing a company newsletter that is of a higher quality and style than the previous incarnations of the newsletter is proving more complex than I'd anticipated.
Before it was just several pages of random stuff, each page with its own composition, font, color scheme, layout, etc. I'm trying to make one that stands out as a vast improvement upon that legacy. And it turns out making a decent newsletter with a consistent look but where everything that needs to stand out, does... is taking longer than I'd planned. My cover's pretty b*tchin' though. It was better when it had the monorail on it (hey, if they're going to put a DL monorail photo in a collection of royalty-free images, I'm going to try to use it!), but it still looks pretty cool. I stretched the name out in a lovely bowtie-shaped bit of word art that covers the bottom third+ of the cover (prevously it was just in inch-high letters in the high-middle of the page in a color that barely stood out from the cover photo). Of course, making the cover better was the easy part, because well, I understand transparencies and how to make them work in publisher. (duh)
But yeah, getting everything I need on the inside to look good as well as consistent is taking some actual work.
