ye I see what you mean now. Personally I prefer portrait format because I do print these sort of things but, Landscape is better for reading on screen. Swings and round-a-abouts depends on what you are using it for at the time. Ideally both formats would be good but, time in making these is the thing. I've started to design it in portrait format so I'm sticking to this for now but, who knows it could change depending on feedback of what people want.
