nice models. if they had been taken in prototype format, not mocked up onto
pages, I almost could have fallen for it. :-)
There are many specific flaws in the design of the pages. LEGO has style
guidlines.
- The name SYSTEM would have to appear beside the LEGO logo before the presence
of anything that looked like a train logo. Train logo would not be blown up to
height of LEGO red square.
- the trademark/copyright info would not say (c) Logo(R) (yes, L-o-g-o)
- the colors are too bright around boxes, etc to have been scanned (they dont
match the intensity of photos, too smooth to be descreened halftone.esp next to
choppy text which looks unscanned.
- one of the yellow 'new' triangles is positioned off by one pixel. In a print
copy, I don't think a scan could produce that error effect.
- old 9v motors are no longer being used.
- photography is of unacceptable quality. even for a first layout draft.
- layout of page 2 is too poor.
- screened background photos are of large LEGO setups, not real-world.
No doubt an April 1 hoax. good one.
