Message re: November BCM from New Art Director
« on: November 12, 2008, 11:02:58 PM »
Bus Nuts,

Don't panic.  The delays in shipping have been partly due to the steep learning curve I have experienced as I have assumed the art director responsibilities and the restructuring of the magazine.

You will notice significant changes this month.  In the November editor's message, Dennis Myers does an excellent job of explaining the "what's and why's" so I will refrain from presenting a similar discourse.

As the new art director, it is my job to continue to deliver the same amount of content in a fewer number pages.  I believe we have succeeded in creating a magazine that has made a more efficient use of the BCM canvas, while maintaining the integrity of our content, and improving our look.

I will continue to work hard to deliver the content that the BCM community has grown to expect.  I'll need some help, though, in the form of feedback. I welcome it all.

Together we can continue to keep this 17 year old publication alive. It is my hope that can we slowly rebuild our advertising base, and thus boost our page count and deliver even more content.

As a sign of good faith, I will email the December issue as a .pdf to any subscribers at no additional cost.  You will receive your magazine sent electronically by the 18th of November or sooner.  Just send your request to chad@busconversions.com

Thanks,
Chad

Our November issue came in a couple of days ago (Dallas TX area), and I finally had time to read it last night.  Actually, I'm pleased.  I didn't notice any missing content, the magazine, overall, looks "tighter" - a good thing. 

However, this is the only magazine that consistently arrives with the cover, and sometimes several pages, torn.  Obviously this happens somewhere while in custody of the post office, but what confuses me is that this is the only magazine where almost all my issues are torn.  I do get several woodworking magazines that are shipped loose (not in plastic sleeves), and there is seldom a tear.  Any thoughts?
