Create An Online Interactive Multimedia Magazine From Any Document With Calameo
This tool looks very useful in improving the publication of online magazines. One of my pet peeves is that we don't pay enough attention to the design of online materials, and that good design makes a difference in reader acceptance of what we all publish. The basic version of Calameo is free, and the Pro version doesn't cost very much (190 Euros per year). I'm going to have a closer look at this. -GW Robin Good, Robin Good Blog, June 24, 2008.

Re: Create An Online Interactive Multimedia Magazine From Any Document With Calameo
Design is simply part of reader-friendliness. Because words and appearance were produced separately by different people until recently - (writers, graphic designers, late 1980s) - the impact of design on reading has been virtually invisible and largely unhonoured. (Possibly some writers don't have a high level of visual intelligence.) So anything that helps readers access the text, that makes the text more invitational, is an excellent move, IMO.
