That really looks like a highly interesting magazine to read šŸ˜› Other than that it looks good. Maybe increase the opacities of the backgrounds to the text. ---

u can draw a rectengular shape in the bottom of the magazine and write some titles and some contents. (ā€œrevolutionary applicationsā€, ā€œmake your web to travel with youā€, etc) šŸ˜ƒ ---

It looks great but like everyone said it is an advertisement, not a magazine. You need more stuff about the content and the magazine itself (like price, name, etc). Your magazine should be about CMS as a whole or something and then there would be an article about FLATE and Flash based CMS. ---

> [@BlueNar](#): > > Really?

Itā€™s funny, because it reminds me of the default background that XP places on your desktop. Of course, it screamed ad to me. My first reaction was (before reading posts ensuing) this is an ad! :look: The explanation removed my confusion, but other than that, itā€™s a spectacular ad. šŸ˜›
