I've got an idea. It might be crazy. In fact, if it's crazy enough, I might delete it later! Anyway, my mind was exploring the possibility of streamlining my workload. One of the last things I do when preparing the magazine for print (and frankly, one of my favorite parts) is the layout.
Does anyone out there have the Adobe InDesign program? Also into layout and design? If so, maybe we could work together on a feature article by feature article basis.
In HM we have a template of sorts for all our departments (like the one-page featurettes, album reviews, the Hard News, etc); but all the "rules" are tossed out in our two-page, three-page or four-page features.
Interested? Let me know.

Might be something I am interested in. I've done some ad layouts in your mag for Matt Hunt. Sounds like it could be a cool idea.
