Ok, got my copy yesterday night.

A few issues I need to get off my shoulders. Delima, hope you're reading.

1) I want to shoot the person responsible for choosing the fonts. Red fonts on a dark background may look cool on your monitor but it sure as hell do not when it is on glossy pages. Bloody hell was it difficult to read. This was especially irritating when the pages affected are the ones with the exquisite Ms. Hannah Tan on them.

2) The English is STILL appalling. I don't want to sound like a broken record so I'll just point out the thing I can't stand most. The misuse of words and phrases. It is really bad.

Just to balance out the criticism, here's some positive remarks. The content overall is nice, lots of different cars and photos, still a bit lacking in detail though.

silverfish,

I have to agree with you about the English. It IS appalling. I buy Traffic for the design and photography. Photography is top-class and is definitely head and shoulders above the rest out there in the market. Kudos to the art director and photographer. I don't bother to read much because it irritates me. Traffic needs better writers. If I wanted good write-ups and articles, I read Torque, Autocar or Cars.my. Not even HyperTune has that level of English proficiency. It's sad.

Don't get me wrong, I love Traffic but it can be more than magazine with just pretty pictures.

Totally agree with the local mag's lack of english proficiency.. It is.. disgraceful, can't imagine some westerner picking up our mags getting impressed by the local car mod community only to discover the incompetency of local writers. If anyone has this month's hypertune, check out the reader's letter section, I'm not sure whether is it the job of a copywriter to correct grammar and vocab mistakes made by the readers but it is definitely amusing. Also, inaccuracy of answering technical questions could squander the credibility of the mag ( for example the writeup about some hankook tyres) Pls PLSSSS spend some money hire a professional copywriter or some sort.. THe local car mags have been improving significantly over the past yrs and I still see some lack of attention to details.


Btw, my gfren is a copywriter in an ad agency. Guess she wouldn't mind free lancing for u guys. Call me @ 012-2131839. Hahahaha..

Heya ikanperak,

sorry i was "absent" yesterday as my aunt pass away yesterday from late detection of colon cancer and was assigned 'funeral duty'...

anyway, yes i am reading the comments from you and very much appreciated it. Thanks.

1) You can shoot me on the Hannah's :lol: and it was purposedly made to provoked.
heheh besides, you'll have a hard time reading it with hannah smiling here and there. An experiment nevertheless... Let you know when i have the adequate amount of results to justify the experiment.

2) Yes, i have to agree with you on this myself. I think they are not writers but born and trained designers, therefore read number one again heheh


oh yeah...and about hannah...she's 25, a chinese sarawakian kelabit, grew up in penang and lives in KL now. Somewhere near bangsar (it'll be wise not to let you know of the address now ain't it?)

oh yeah...pictures. Hold on ya... :P

 

[si|verfish]

My condolences.

"Extra" in getting close to Hannah?? :lol:

delima, i suppose the red over black booboo is not really that bad considering "every male Traffic reader" really wanted the pictures spread on HT than to "read" . sorry guys but come on, be honest:D

BTW what is there to read about HT when so many "experts" here :lol: for comments of her eyes, built, size, beauty, etc

Oh, if i every have a secret project car, can i have Hannah Tan ?
with her as an exclusive picture spread? heheh :rolleyes: :P :P :D

damn
