Alas the new layout of Trend Magazine Online™ has
become a reality! Our site has been up for quite some time, however, we
have decided to redesign our format to one that more resembles a print
publication while providing continuous updates and fresh new
content.
Technology has certainly changed immensely since our publication was shelved after the Spring 1993 edition. For instance, producing a full color photograph on the front cover required an expensive process called color separation. This process would involve an additional printer/person who possessed a very expensive camera that would produce four sheets of film -- one for each basic color. Each basic color then required a separate metal plate to print your four color photo. The entire composition would sometimes take several days to complete and could cost as much as $500.00 or more for one cover photo. Today this process is available at the click of a mouse and can be performed in seconds by a computer that costs less than the cost of producing one full color photo.
It is for that reason that we have decided to revive our magazine in an online format first and if a demand exists, we will follow-up with a print version. Our online format will -- to a certain extent -- follow the format of our past printed versions and will include interesting facts It is for that reason that we have decided to revive our magazine in an online format first and if a demand exists, we will follow-up with a print version.
Our online format will -- to a certain extent -- follow the format of our past printed versions and will include interesting facts about the places we cover, newcomer information (Future), convention and trade show calendar (Future), events and cultural calendar, night life, concerts and shows, business and church directory (Future), and other amenities.
