A-Ok (Amstrad Computer User) | Demoscene Papermags |
Last time, I reviewed eight magazines in UK., all of a reasonably high quality. Unfortunately I can't say the same for A-OK. While the magazine does contain some interesting articles it is let down by presentation. Produced using Page Publisher and Stop Press, A-OK suffers from faded print, bad page design and bad layout. Dotted through the magazine are handwritten comments, these don't exactly add class to the magazine. In fact A-OK has broken all the rules you are taught when you take a City and Guilds in DTP! If the above doesn't distract you too much then you may find quite a few interesting articles lurking within A-OK's pages. The magazine covers everything from hardware to games to PD to serious software to listings, if s just a matter of finding the articles in the first place. A-OK is one of those fanzines that looks terrible, but makes slightly better reading. With a vast improvement on style and layout A-OK would be a challenger to the other zines on offer, i but as it is you'd be better with one of the others. |
