Ouch, they sure laid into the ISDE with viciousness, being Italian & the fact they lost would seem to have been a significant factor there.

Great concept of a magazine & alot of money spent on the content & graphical layout which is very good indeed, some of the photo's are as good as I've seen. But to be honest totally appalling technical implementation, it's text rendering is an abomination on my 19" LCD's, you can't easily print specific pages ( the numbers don't match up ), there is no really usable contents page & if you scale the text up the index goes to the wrong place ( if it works at all ). The second magazine has a random & kinda close to where you want to go index page, with a zoom function that is even worse ( yes it's possible ) than the first magazine.

There's a perfect delivery platform for an online magazine it's called pdf, using flash for an online magazine is a disaster, even worse if your flash programming skills would not get a pass at kindergarten.

To paraphrase them "It's difficult, very difficult, to give full pass marks to this magazine". But if you want to print it & read it or look at the pretty pictures ( which are fantastic ) it sweet, albeit the font is to small to read for A4 printing in my opinion & online reading is well an experience shall we say.
