Beric'ht Talossan: Issue 3, April 13 2014/XXXV

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

Another fortnight, another Beric'ht Talossan! This edition is out-of-sight amazing, with a new regular cartoonist added to the roster, a rollicking story of an escaping slave saved only by chance and a stranger's goodwill, and some detailed examinations of recent Talossan news!

I hope you enjoy it.

Awwww dag, I been straight quoted y'all.

This might just be the ex-JMC major weaseling his way into the conversation again, but my sole recommendations would be the introduction of infographics as applicable (although I kinda see that's been employed jocularly here ) and copy formatting: bolds, italics, etc. tend to be more aesthetically pleasing in online publications. There's yet to be a conclusive objective explanation for it, but for whatever reason a reader's attention span when looking at a screen is a fraction of what it is for reading printed word. Simply switching up the look of copy has been a pretty common method by which bloggers and internet reporters rectify this situation.

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

Thank you for your suggestions! I agree that infographics are great, which is why I made one for the last issue, but I didn't see much room for any visual data representations this time around.

The idea about more bolds and italics is interesting, but I'm not sure how I could do something like that in what is primarily a text document. I'll have a think on it

[Iason Bitxichë Taiwos]

I've been enjoying what I've been able to read, but for some reason I can't get the whole page to expand on my screen (yes, I'm still stuck with a lousy smartphone).

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

I'm sorry to hear that! We will have other options available, beyond PDF, very soon, as we work on our digital accompaniment.
