I’m loving it…

RodMaker has always been a colorful publication. The cover, the Readers Photo Gallery and a several of the advertisements have all been in color since the 3rd or 4th issue back in 1998. But earlier this year, RodMaker moved to a complete 4-color process on each and every page.

While the quality of content didn’t change, the appearance of it did. Suddenly everything is brighter, bolder, more upscale. I’ve always believed that in order to get people to actually enjoy reading something, you’ve got to make it attractive. The addition of all the new color allows me to do just that.

Although this format change cost a lot more money, I think it was worth it. And it won’t cost the readers one more red cent – the subscription price will remain the same as always.

I’m having a great deal of fun with the layouts recently. Stay tuned for further improvements as we continue through 2011- you haven’t seen anything yet.
