With the density of the text body (due to using dingbats to signal new paragraphs rather than indents) I think the viewer NEEDS more white space to rest their eyes.

I'm going to try to use as little as possible and see what I can get away with, but for the moment I'd thought I'd show you an exaggerated interpretation of your critique, Cram. In my mind, the problems with the first version compared to overdoing the suggestions in the other direction can help me triangulate exactly where we should be going. If that makes sense.

:thanks:

I'm very pleased you can dig it, 000.

Do keep in mind that even at A3 size the type on the first one may be too small for some (maybe even most) people.

Also, I encourage any and all negative feedback.

IT SUCKS AND YOU SHOULD CHOKE ON A RUBBER CHICKEN FOR HAVING MADE IT

Just kidding. These are cool, and I look forward to future variations.

I can't really read it myself, though printed out it probably wont be as bad

Definitely bigger for ease of reading, with no more than three items per page, I think. I'd stay away from black or dark backgrounds because that's harder for the average schmoe to print out multiple copies of on his own printer, but maybe alternate versions, some with white backgrounds and others with cool backgrounds, would be a good idea.

Love the layout! Totally sweet, and eye-catching as hell.

The only problem I have with it is that it's not in Arial. :(

Thanks for the support guys.

I'm carefully considering your suggestions/criticisms, so don't hold back.

Shit on my face.

It's an important part of the creative process.

Just printed a few copies of this out, to let it sink in.


I really like it. The text size is about right, and the dingbats really do help the readability. I would prefer to see the "By Hoopla" relocated somewhere else, as the author credit kind of decreases the "punchline" / oomph at the end of the text. It's distracting.

I'm liking the one piece per page. It really makes you focus in on that piece and digest it (rather than going on to another adjacent parable). I'd like to peruse a PDF with two pieces per page, perhaps?

The play of text and blank space is really dramatic.

This is a really exciting way to Get The Word Out. This is the sort of thing that if I found on a train, I'd pocket it, take it home, and paste it into my scrapbook.

Question:  How do you compile this into a pamphlet?

Cramulus

I'm guessing it wouldn't technically be a pamphlet so much as a book of handouts.

Triple Zero

just printed at my university printer.

the letters of the bright one are still readable at A4, just very tiny :) now, you know layout better than me, but the margins between the blocks of text seem a bit uneven? especially around the history of Cybin piece.

the sisyphus one, margin on the bottom edge seems a tad cramped. same for the top-right diagonal one.

also the bottom edge is a few tens of degrees out of alignment with the page borders.

i don't like the blocky title font for "Modern Sisyphus"

pffff well that's all i can do. as you can see i'm stretching and nitpicking :)
