JWM redesign
07.03.2007 at 11:35:31

Have you noticed that JWM magazine has done a new XJ on us this month. A slight redesign, although it basically looks and feels the same but then messed it up by going all "autotrader" on us in the classified section.

I imagine it's aimed at keeping the cover price low but it feels more like a weekly than a monthly publication with that cheapo paper. Please don't let this creap forward into the main magazine.

On the plus side the XJS Bulletin article is great and make a welcome change from "this month we show you how to remove a metal thing using a special tool called a screwdriver"

Regards
David

That was my fault. Embarrassed

Apologies to anyone offended.

Nick, Yes that was precisely the point I was making and the reason that I removed some 'banter' posts. My feeling about the new style JWM is that the cheap newsprint style of the paper and print in the advertisement section, gives an unfortunate downmarket feel to the magazine. Not good. Cheers, Archie.

I can't see that it matters, myself. If I keep old magazines it's for the articles, not the classifieds so the quality of the paper there doesn't matter a jot.

On the other hand, I DID get annoyed when the MGOC magazine moved the classifieds into the main, glossy, heavyweight magazine rather than in a separate, lightweight section that could be disposed of later - it meant that I was storing loads of useless ads in my cupboard.
