I have passed on your comments and if fact the font we use now is slightly different to when we spoke and this is a slightly larger type.
By increasing the font size by even a small amount you will be surprised how much space it takes up meaning either less pictures or less text.
The design in Skin Deep is always a fine line between making a magazine look good and giving each article the space it deserves.

While we are on requests, can we stay away from cover models whose ribs are clearly visible. Lets portray real women with tattoos.

Thanks.

Dave.

Spelling mistakes can be tolerated. "Less pictures", rather than "fewer pictures", cannot -- at least not from an editor.

I don't know since when, but "huh" is most certainly in the dictionary.
