All Torque's New Look - Feedback

Post by Sean Smallman »

Issue 116 should have landed on the mat this morning.

Tony has been busy this issue, what do you think of the new look and layout?

We desperately need articles for the magazine, running reports, trips, technical, DIY maintenance. A couple of pictures and 400 words will fill a page.

I only just realised that’s my 50th issue of the mag. Nice coincidence that it’s the redesign as well!

Eight and a half years. Where does the time go, eh?

Hi All :)

Having read all the latest issues online over the weekend....

Couple of comments....

Since I last read them there seems to be a lot more adverts which is good for Tipec :)

The technical articles are fewer (I think) although some issues have more and some less...

The pictures in the articles and magazine generally seem to be much higher quality then I remember (although maybe thats my memory and age etc :)


Very good to read them online though.... although a bummer to have to wait for the latest couple....

But thanks all anyway :) :)

All the best Brett :)

We desperately need articles, it would be great if we had so many that we could bank some. That would allow Tony to get the balance of content even in every issue.

Pleased that you enjoyed the read. :)

Keeping on the theme about not answering the original question.

1. How can I sign up for a copy of this publication?
2. Do you want me to write articles for the magazine. These would be tales of woe, misery and heart ache as I try and restore my 944. Please see my thread about my sunroof!

Mine also arrived today.
Like the modern layout, although some pages had a lot of white space.

However the font size!! well that had me reaching for my glasses that I don't have or need!!

I actually put the magazine down as it was uncomfortable to try and read against the white page.
Seemed to be more images which were nicely produced.

I have to agree with the last post. The font size, colour etc is all wrong, to the extent that I have given up trying to read it. Hopefully it can be sorted prior to the next issue.
Currently Porscheless, but still enjoy keeping up to date.

Looks great and very professional. I quite like the white open spaces, giving a modern airy feel to the content, however I have to agree with others on the font. I think the size would be OK if the colour was somewhat darker to give a sharper contrast against the white background.
