First off the article is well written and does a good job explaining how to create these so-called "artistic type designs." However, this site is called creativepro.com is it not? Well, the designs in this article look more like something that a "creative amateur" would create. Who in their right mind would waste their money on these Element-K Journals? Maybe, Element-K should lower there prices, and gear their journals toward programs like MS Publisher or Printmaster, because whoever deigns there articles art work shouldn't be wasting the time and money using high end programs like Quark Xpess. I realize this is an advertisement not an article. However, if creativepro.com is truly geared toward creative professionals. Element-K needs to try a little hard, because no professional designer is going to waste almost one hundred dollars a year on a journal that has art work that looks as if it was designed by an amateur.
