wow, great.. no! PERFECT!

wait a minute... noooooo! just realised that u justified the text :( as a whole, this looks very appealing, visually creative, fun to engage into and easy to read so your doing very well but there is a lil thing wrong in it.. justified text always ends up looking bad because it distorts text space with horrible random gaps. This would look bad for a successful magazine.. easily fixed tho!

good job man :D :horns:

Thank you so much for the nice comment :hug:

The gaps! Thing is, I've been taught that text should be justified in layouts, but I'm not sure if there's a way to do so without creating all those random gaps.

I never realized that they were such a big issue. Thank you sooo much for pointing that out for me :floating:

I suppose there isn't really a way of justifying it without gaps but u don't always have to justify it. I was just trying to find a webpage with a lot of useful hints and tips on how to make paragraphs look professional and easy to read... sorry i could find it but i'll give you the link if i come across it again

just read up on a few things.. there are actually a lot of magazines that use justified text, my bad :( see i've been taught not to ever use it =P haha it does look good as a whole when your columns are straightened with it but god damn it it makes it annoying to actually read through the text.
