Philby Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Woah, seems like the printers had a little too much Coopers over the Xmas / New Year period, or perhaps they've been privy to sampling the new Premium Lager?? Or maybe it was just me, but when I got to page 4 (or page 6, depending upon how you started reading) of my newsletter, my whole world turned upside down !! Or possibly, it's the "new" style newsletter, with dual covers and someone couldn't decide on which cover was best and.... ?? Heck I don't know.

kieran Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 i dont have mine yet, although it could be because my membership is probably due for renewal - how can we check this, btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 We were just trying to mess with your head. The idea was to have two front covers as both the Beer and Home Brew departments have new products worthy of the front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philby Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sarcasm is so difficult in the written word. Perhaps I should have also included one of these :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 yeah I was tuned into your sarcasm.. but can you detect mine!? I hope so, because it was meant as an overtly sarcastic comment - which you could probably decode it as "hey, cool idea, its your newsletter, you can present it however you like!" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 You know the other trouble with it? Try reading the pdf of the newsletter from the website at www.coopers.com.au/media/files/1372.pdf You need to turn your monitor upside down to read the damn thing! Surely this can be sorted by whoever creates the pdfs ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well, I take that back. In Adobe Reader you can rotate the pdf. Problem solved! Cheers, Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I've just sat down to read the hard copy of the newsletter, after looking at the PDF online. I must say I thought it was pretty confusing, too. First, there's nothing on the "homebrew" cover and the "beer" cover apart from the picture to indicate why there are two covers. The wording is exactly the same. If you were trying to differentiate beer and homebrew sections, shouldn't the beer cover only mention the beer stories and homebrew the homebrew stories? Second, did the printers, or the designers, stuff up the pages? It seems that there should be four pages on beer and four on homebrew, but there are are five in the homebrew section and three in the beer section. The article "Brewing a new beer: a brewer's perspective part 2" surely belongs in the beer section, not the homebrew section? Is this really how it's meant to be? I particularly ask this because on page 3 (of the homebrew section) in the article about the new lager and light it says "Key differences come from the use of different yeast and hops, (referred to in Dr Jon Meneses' article on page 3)". In fact, it's on page 4. Third, perhaps a solution to all the confusion would be to have a cover and all the pages the same way up, then have a strap across the top of each page saying either "Beer" or "Homebrew". You could also have "News" on the first few pages if the topics were mixed up. Sorry to sound negative, but all in all it doesn't seem like it was very well thought through!
