Hi everyone and welcome to the All-New MacFormat 157!

As you can see we've had a bit of a redesign.  I hope you like it!
We've got rid of the dock effect and put an easy-to-use menu system. On the bottom of this window you'll see four menu items. They're for things which won't change from issue to issue. Click on any of them and you'll be taken to the subscription page, the MacFormat Forums, the MacFormat Website, or to our credits and contacts page.

Above this window you'll see some more menu choices. Each month these will change according to what we've put on the disc but this month there are five main sections. 

We have two full programs to give away on disc one. The fantastic Graphic Converter, and a Format Converter plugin which you can use with iMovie.  Then we have an iLife Toolkit full of utilities and tools which you can use to make your iLife package even more fun.  We have two fantastic huge Demos for you this month in the form of Cinema 4D and FontAgent Pro, the games Wesnoth and Football Manager 2005 and don't forget to try out the Photoshop Tutorial in our How To section!

Let me know what you  think of the new interface as we'll be tweaking it ever so gently over the next few issues.

Enjoy the disc and I'll see you on disc 2 for some more great programs!
