=Missing Articles: = Resevoir Dogs Review by Y-Lynn & Lenz, Gabriel wants to do the layout.

Font bucket: Short stories: Garamond

Editorials (depends): used serifed fonts (like Times New Roman or Constantia)

Reviews: use san serifed fonts (like Futura, Gill Sans, Lacuna, Helvetica, Frutiger) [headers: Largo D or same fonts as above but larger size and bolder]

Sports articles: use san serifed fonts (Trebuchet, Futura, Gill Sans, Helvetica, Frutiger)

More fonts to come... (Also, the work we're doing now with the templates is definitely work-in-progress, feel free to add/email any ideas/suggestions about font or layout [that you think would give the magazine a cohesive look])

From Max and Jeff (template work): For longer articles (+300 words) - use a serif font (Constantia, Times New Roman, or Garamond; depending on your article...see explanation later) - size: depending on length, use either size 10 or 12; try fitting the article to pages and don't leave a few sentences just for one page - columns: please use 2 (!) columns for articles To create columns: create one large text box >> object menu >> text box >> change column to 2 (leave the gutter as is)

- to help keep articles to pages, use spacing between paragraphs To create spacing between paragrahs: go to the paragraph menu >> look at the second to last button on the menu >> select the part of your spacing you'd like to alter >> click and alter

- header (deal with this later, we can add it in, but leave space at the top of your layout [about 10 mm just to be safe])

- respect the margins!
