Outrageous Pages Category: Desktop Graphic Design and Layout Current Price & Availability: Commodore 64/128; $49.95 November 17, 1987 -- Electronic Arts today announced the release of Outrageous Pages, a new addition to its Batteries Included line of productivity software products. Outrageous Pages is a full paint and graphics/layout program produced exclusively for Commodore 64/128 owners who want the flexible design power for creating printed output such as newsletters, calendars, certificates, signs, flyers, and invitations. "Outrageous Pages is an ideal program for organizations like schools, church groups and small, home businesses who require free-form design and professional quality output for their printed correspondence," said Stewart Bonn, Vice President of Electronic Arts Creativity/Productivity Division. He explained that users are not restricted to specific formats like those found in other layout programs. "Outrageous Pages makes you the designer, putting the decision in your hands as to how many or how few columns your document should contain, where to put graphics and text and how to set your margins." Outrageous Pages contains 50 different fonts and a library of 80 different art pieces for creating documents containing both graphics and text. Special autoflow margins allow the user to flow text around or within artwork. The program also contains a number of on-disk templates for quick production of materials like newsletters, coupons, place cards and name tags. Electronic Arts also announces the Outrageous Pages Upgrade Offer for current owners of any other Commodore 64/128 graphics program such as Printshop, Newsroom, Create a Calendar, Certificate Maker and Greeting Card Maker. Customers who send a check or money order for $25.00 (plus $3.00 shipping and handling) along with the manual cover of their current graphics program, before April 1, 1988, will receive Outrageous Pages currently valued at $49.95.
