Your cover e-mail presented the new format and asked what we thought. Yet you gave no link to share our comments. As such I do it here.
The light blue and light gray type in a sans serif face appear very nice and designy. However, they prove difficult to read. Plus their diminuitive size does not help matters.
The myriad of elements on each inch of the page do not direct your eye. So much to look at and small at that. Boldface headlines would do wonders.
Your designers had a field day. However, audience testing could have added some benefit.
Anyway, keep sending out the newsletter, in spite of my comments. You're the only game in town. We'll have to take what we get.
Moreover, in the past, I have sent several communications to Anything Arts headquarters about potential advertising. Never did I receive a response. Perhaps you'll institute a more reader responsive focus.
Thank you.
