Jake,
I'm sure if I originally replied to this message, but I've been keeping
it around until I had time to work on the issue. Well, right now I have
time. I did a perliminary layout and found that i have about 40 pages of
8.5x11 half. The print is 10pt to get it all to fit. If I go with 11pt I
get about 50pages and at 12pt about 64. I figured the 10pt is still
readable and looks pretty good, so I'll save us some paper. I received no
art for this issue. I also can't reproduce Thor's art on my printer, it's
very complex and I don't have the fidelity to represent it. I fear it
wouldn't look too good in B/W either, since he plays a lot with colors.
Your suggestion of the signature plates it a good one, however I'm
having trouble enough getting bio's from all the authors.
I'll planning on printing the issue out and sending it to you
photo-ready. That way you don't have to buy PageMaker 6.5 and I don't
have to buy Word (or deal with it). The only problem I see here is tha
the pages print one to a sheet of paper, instead of one on each half. I
hope this isn't a problem in shooting the page. You'll just have to line
them up correctly.
So far things look pretty good. I assume having an even number of
pages is all that is required, and not any special multiple. If this is
not true, tell me and I'll try to adjust things.
