In this review The two packages in this review are the market leaders for professional production of short documents. That name is slightly misleading, since one of the packages is used to produce PC Magazine , which is anything but short. It is, however, produced in several sections, each of which has a slightly different layout style.
Opinion pieces have two columns, left-aligned type and a 'pull quote'.
The First Looks pages have four columns, justified type, a small bar at the top of each giving the type of product and Quick Look reviews in their own boxes. The comparative reviews have a long introduction, complete with illustration, a mini-index, and highlights and review criteria in the margins. Each of these design elements is consistent within its own section of the magazine, but is unused in any other section. A long document, by contrast, would have the same page layout style for many pages at a time and there would be fewer graphical elements on each page. This might be a novel, an equipment manual or a staff handbook.
