The Joy of Letraset
I say memories because ... you are now reading "Six Tame Sides" on the internet ... but when "Six Tame Sides" first began - it was a fanzine back in the early 1990s, when fanzines were all the rage.
In glorious monochrome as well !!!
I used to use Letraset now and again for page and article titles, type the article up (OK on a computer) using "Wordcraft" (occasionally throwing in the odd graphic from the "Freelance" graphics collection) - and then it was a case of printing it off, cutting the articles out (yes scissors !!!) and then it was "Tippex Time", arranging stuff on an A5 page and using a felt tip pen to underline/make borders etc - this was the original 'cut and paste' !!'. Then it was photocopy (double-sided making sure you got the right pages in the right order) and sit at home collating and stapling - before going round the grounds selling the end product ...
You've never had it so good ...
(And now ... sort out tea ... and check out the FA Cup draw - no doubt back later) ...
