MAGAZINE REORGANIZATION FOR 2009
** If you are a
current subscriber to Airbrush Technique Magazine printed format please e-mail
me don@airbrushtechnique.com. |
|
We have taken
Airbrush Technique Magazine digital.
This is the post press era in media with more folks
using the Internet like many of us baby boomers used comic books, books in
general and news papers when we where kids. You see it everyday newspapers,
magazines going chapter 11 because they failed to realize this.
Below
read more about the new format many magazines including ours have gone to.
Times are tough and we strongly feel this new format will help get more readers
involved with our magazine while saving them money. As there are no mailing
costs, publishing costs are reduced we can pass those saving onto our readers
in a lower cover price per issue with more issues per subscription. No matter
where you live in the world the price is the same as there are no mailing
costs.
*Direct links from the digital
magazine to magazine advertisors websites
*Keyword searches with the
digital magazine to help you find exactly the information your
seeking
*Pages flip just like a real magazine, you can zoom in and out
for easier viewing
*Save $$ over thea printed format with reduced
shipping costs, great for our international readers.
*Table of Contents
lets you quickly and easily go to any article of choice in the
publication.
*You have the ability to print a page, pages, or entire
publication on home printer
*Allows you to bookmark/save a page for
later viewing/searching, save the whole magazine in fact on your computer if
you like
*Shows smaller version of each page below the publication for

PRINTING THE MAGAZINE FROM YOUR COMPUTER
It's very easy to print copies of each issue off there
on your home computer.
#1 Log into the digital addition using
your e-mail address and password you where provided. Click on the PRINT
button.
|
|
#2 The PRINT box will come up
where you can choose the pages you would like to print. You can choose any one
article or print the whole magazine cover to cover.
|
|
#3 Below is the copy of issue #23
I printed off using my computer/printer, very easy. Lose your copy, spill
coffee on it no worries just print another copy off.
|
|
#4 Now that you have printed the
issue time to get organized by including it in your reference library three
ring binder. Don't have a reference library three ring binder now's a great
time to start one to house all your issues of Airbrush Technique Digital.
You'll need a three ring binder, three hole punch and some dividers. All can be
purchased for less than $15.00 total at any office store.
|
|
#5 there you have my issue of
issue #23 neatly in my reference library ready to be taken to the shop or
studio for quick reference should I need to look up some airbrush technique
pointers. Great thing about this again is if you spill coffee or paint on it no
worries simply print another copy off to replace it.
|
|
#6 Now take it one step further or
create two binders one for complete issues and one for specific topic articles.
Use dividers to create sections in your three ring binder as I've done for
BIKES, T SHIRTS, LETTERING, add whatever sections you believe will help you
quickly find specific info during a project. You add all the bike related
articles to the bike section, T Shirt articles to the T Shirt section, ect.
Makes for a very organized easy to search airbrush techniques reference
library.
