The lack of technical information in the magazine drives me nuts.
I find it extremely annoying when an article says that there were important changes made to design to give some improvement...but then doesn't say what the changes were or, if the article is to do with a new development, it doesn't explain the how/why of how the new development changes things.
If it wasn't for the World Airline Directory & the job ads, I wouldn't buy the magazine in a pink fit.
But this year they even $crewed the WAD by making it completely alphabetical instead of the previous year's broad region categorisation.
What is it with these bloody stylists that think 'flash' & 'presentation' is a substitute for substance?
I cringe everytime I hear or read the phrase "We've given it a fresh, new look". Particularly when the 'fresh, new look' means that text of an article is spread all over the facing pages with boxouts or irrelevent, 'arty' pictures everywhere.
