Promote your activities, report on events after-the-fact (please remain within a 'newsworthy" time frame: the article should be published within one issue after the event, no later please), or simply write about what interests you. Please include photographs where possible. We work with Adobe Photoshop (.psd), Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Adobe InDesign (.eps), QuarkXpress (.qxd), Publisher (.pub) and Powerpoint.
We also accept photographs on their own merit.
Submission: Articles should be typed, not hand written - originals please, no photocopies. We also accept articles on electronic media or via e-mail.
