The seventh issue of the jist has now officially been launched. I had a chance to pass some out at Human Cargo’s last show for the summer and I’ll probably be around giving more away. I’m trying to set up a system to order issues for those who don’t live in bowling green, but until then, feel free to browse the issue here or check it out on the site.

I would really like to thank the loop for giving us a place to spread the jist. In the next few days I will start giving back instead of just blogging. Look forward to screencasts featuring a preview of the jist as well as Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and general magazine editing tips and tutorials.

I’ve been hearing that print is dying but I find this prediction hard to swallow. Sure, the internet is easier and cheaper to publish in but real printed material will always be more powerful and accessible. I hope that the upcoming screencasts will bring back the idea of print, or at least in the minds of our readers.
