    If you don’t use this as an excuse to start using Trebuchet as the font of choice, I’ll have to come up there and beat you all with a big typography book. No, really, one with very pointy corners.

    Your publication need a front page like…. hmmm, like a ‘grunge’ page.
    Hang on… let me show you the type I have in mind.
    Go to this page and select on: http://www.templatemonster.com/category.php?type=0&tid=+-+Any+-&search_words=+-+Any+-&from_=&to=&cat=-+Any+Category+-&style=9&author=0&x=47&y=13

    However you can do a lot better to ask some of the ‘grunge’ page designers to do one for you. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper than hire someone. My recomendation for the designers are: Monet, Di, Cerberus, Delta, Juggir, MariArti and more. These are not necessery in order of importance.
    Check it out.
    BTW, you can have any theme modified for a few bucks.

    Last word; since your publicaton is not like a ’standard’ PC bullshit out there, use something that reflects that flavor :)
    Be brave and go bold!

    Shit… I forgot one of the cool designer for your webpage: Hugo.
    Do check out his work. IE: http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/5109.html
    See what I mean about the “look and feel” of -grunge- ?
