Microsoft Word: Unexpected file size issue

Occasionally Microsoft Word documents may suddenly increase in file size from say 1mb to 23mb. To correct the majority of problem files; the simplest way is to ensure that ‘Save Preview Picture’ is unchecked in the properties dialog box when saving your document.

 

In addition:

• Turn off ‘Automatically save version on close’ under file/versions

 

Failing the above changes to the Document Structure, final possible solution is to copy the contents into a new document with the above options.

Import the file into Illustrator and the font information is interpreted correctly.

Freeland Cope™ Cover Competition

Marine Parade are releasing a remix CD of Freeland's 2009 album Cope™. They decided to hold a competition to ‘remix’ their album cover. The winner would receive credit and a limited deluxe edition of the album. Entry’s closed on August 15, 2009.

The original cover artwork was available to download, however no definitive instructions as to what was to be included in the new design. 
  

I decided to leave the design very simple yet still following their existing style from all their released tracks from Cope™.
