PDF Crits and Suggestions

[HinterWelt]

I like it. But drop the page number down, away from the main body of the text. It looks like it's starting some kind of probe.

NICE art, btw, and cool maps. Where're they from?

I agree about branding. Branding is good for games.

Cheers
Nell.

I have dropped the page number. As for the art, it comes from a number of places. I drew the maps, the rest is clipart.

Thanks,
Bill

Very nice looking, big 'thumbs up' on the layout. I definitely prefer two column layouts, especially since many buyers will print it and read the hardcopy.

The only quibble I have is that the styles of the section headers and sub-heads is so different as to be distracting. See page 9, near the bottom of the left column. As I was scanning through the document, admiring the layout and graphics, this caused a sort of mental trainwreck. I had to back up and look again to figure out what was going on. It may just be me, but the head-subhead difference was too much for my taste.

(Disclosure warning - I have absolutely no training or experience in layout for publication, unless you count the work I did on my high school newspaper some twenty *cough-cough* years ago. I can only offer personal opinions, and I'm sure you know what those are worth.)

Again, other than that one minor quibble, I found the layout very pleasing to the eye. As a free teaser to a larger product, it would definitely encourage me to take a closer look at the content and whether or not it fit my needs/wants.

Putting a small logo on each page is okey, but as a buyer it would annoy me a bit because it wastes my ink.

PDF buyers are always concerned with ink cartridges.
