Instant Layouts are page layouts created by Clipper¿ designers using art from each issue. All instant Layouts appear in Clipper magazine, and are indexed by a number each month. Instant Layouts are also indexed in the Adobe Fetch¬ Browser catalogs each month.
Instant Layouts are saved in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Illustrator files are saved with a version 3.0 compatibility; Photoshop files are saved as black-and-white images with white as transparent, with paths, grayscale and two color. All type has been converted to curves, and all body copy removed from the layout files so that you can add your custom type more quickly. Some layouts include art from other Dynamic Graphics art and idea services, including Designer╒s Club¿ and Print Media Service¿, as noted at the bottom of the layouts in Clipper¿ magazine. This note should be cropped if you placed the Instant Layout in a page layout application.
The Instant Layouts files have been numbered consecutively. The letter ╥Y╙ included in an image number (for example ╥001Y.EPS╙) indicate this image is an Instant Layout. Some of the layouts have supporting images in the Instant Layouts folder. These images are Photoshop files that have the same image number as the Illustrator layout with a dash and alpha character (for example ╥001Y-A.EPS╙). There can be more than one supporting image in a layout, which will be denoted by an alpha character incremented in alphabetical order. The supporting images can be edited in Photoshop; the layouts with supporting images can be edited in Adobe Illustrator. If you are sending these layouts to a service bureau for output, the supporting art files will need to accompany them. The layouts that do not have supporting images can be edited with a PostScript Draw program. You need a PostScript printer or interpreter in order to print the Instant layouts properly.
