I guess it's a question of taste.
I can see Jean's points.

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.

David,
The purpose is very simple a magazine format will give you articles
information from many different sources in one place. It is also a
distributable item that can be printed out I just need to sort some
design elements out to do this. There are lots of reasons why a magazine
is a good thing otherwise news stands would be out of business.
I'm not questioning that. I'm asking why one would optimize the layout
to be watched on the screen (landscape) as opposed to print out
(portrait). For me, PDF is a printout format, predominantly.

Some good points you raise. This is still a learning process for me
and it is good to get feedback from others as there are things I don't
think about because my focus maybe on another area as I'm still
learning Scribus. For Instance I forgot to embed the fonts but, with
someone to review material these small problems will work themselfs out.
Another suggestion: perhaps make it landscape instead of portrait
orientation? Works much better for reading on screen.
Erm, can someone please explain to me what the purpose of a PDF
magazin is that is to be read online only? Why not create articled
on the website then?
For me, the primary purpose of having something as PDF is to
be able to print it out using a controlled layout.
I may be wrong, though.
