Default "Byte" - The Newsletter from Lia Neal - reviews needed before publication!
Hi!

Sorry if this is in the wrong section....

I was wondering if any of you wouldn't mind having a look at at the first issue of "Byte", my company newsletter.

Please click here to view the temporary file - please note that this will be deleted when the "official" document is published.

Thanks in advance!

Lia, that looks great!

A few minor corrections and suggestions... on the first page, you have three words that are in bold print and for some reason the first letter of each one is underlined. Also, in the second paragraph, the "s" in Sole Traders is in bold.

Under the "letter from the creative director", I'd suggest making that as a bulleted list as opposed to writing out what is in the issue.

I haven't had a chance to proofread for spelling or anything, but those were the things that stood out at first glance.

April - I had the 3 letters in bold and underlined as they are the definitions of my name (as if i need one )

Also, I do have a "In This Issue" list at the top of page one (under the title)

thanks for a quick reply!

Looks good, I didn't read it all it's kind of long so I did a cursory glance which is what I do when I receive large newsletters. The title is a bit pixelated, not sure if you can fix that...but it looks a bit unprofessional. Also, you might consider changing the color of your tagline...it's so bright that I had a hard time reading it....maybe the same green as your article titles.

I read your comment about the underlined letters in the first article. It makes sense when you describe it but it looks weird. And, unless you're going to explain it to everyone you send it to (which would be weird) I'd be afraid it would look like you made a mistake. If you want to point out those word maybe put them at the bottom of the article. Lia: Luxurious, Invaluable, Affordable. I think that might bring the point better than underlining them in the article.

Hi Lanel!

Thanks for the comments!
RE the title: the pixelation took place whilst I was converting from .doc to .pdf - the logo looks professional in the document but not on the PDF. (I'm not sure how to fix it either! If anyone has any tips on that then that would be appreciated!)
RE the LIA section: I will put those changes into place Thanks for bringing it up!
