alkanphel posted:An overall theme wouldn't really work since our photos all have a wide spread of themes, which in itself is what would make the zine interesting. Considering you're the one who initiated this Dorkroom zine and are pretty much most of the work, I think you can be the one to do the curation and rejections. Those who aren't happy with your rejections can go start their own zine :P I nominate the autist since he doesn't get art, maaaaaaaaaaaaan

If the cover image is going to be picked from the submissions, would it be better to choose it from the final set of photos, then base the cover design on it?

Someone who knows what he's doing can pick a nice font vvv yeah ok this is good. unpacked robinhood fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Nov 17, 2015 |

 My best effort based on previous feedback. It's just two weights of the font Lato. elgarbo fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Nov 17, 2015 |

Cliché suggestion: distress (via transparency) the -RE / lower right corner in a way that mimics cocked-up wet printing. edit:   apologies for the terrible removal of the previous logo using content-aware fill.

Thoogsby posted:This but the cover picture is that picture of ansel in the pool. agreeing with this except i dont think the typeface on the bottom doesn't seem to handle that level of strength very well e:  spitballin again. i dont like how the last family handled their Fs and Es, i'm not sold on the one i picked here either, the capital C doesnt kern well against the A in RECIPROCAL, elements of the last attempt were better edit 3: fixed edit 4: the family is "Avenir Next", it's a good one but when you start dicking with the kerning like i am here you'll have to end up manually kerning every letter because it does goofy things when spread this far apart. a cyberpunk goose fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Nov 17, 2015 |

 here's a variation with the two title lines closer together vertically with "overlay" on the top, by chance it looks p good with this specific photo, a bit gimmicky imo, just playing around edit:

 i think that is the end of my walk down this path of variations. this is sloppy but a quick draft of another type of title:  it's a bit different but separates the title from the cover photo a bit, making them different concepts on some level instead of designed together. it's a hit/miss kind of approach and my mockup doesn't do it justice. i dont think this particular typeface survives well in this particular mock

The edge of the pool is close to the falloff in the reciprocity failure graph. I vote this over the second option.

I like everything about this cover except the uneven spacing between the letters in the words. Mido what font did you use?

Mido what font did you use? go for it, Avenir Next Condensed Ultra Light for the top part, and Avenir Next Condensed Medium for the bottom part. the uneven spacing definitely needs to be cleaned up by hand

Okay guys, we're making some rad progress on this thing. We can keep tinkering with the cover, but now it's time to talk about what we want to achieve with this magnificent publication. Basically - do we want it to be strictly available for Dorkroom goons? If so, are we happy for those goons to purchase as many copies as they like to try to onsell for HUGE profits? Or do we want to collectively try to sell this thing for fat stacks of cash and share the profits between everyone involved? If so, there are two options... We all collectively take on the risk of getting extra copies printed that may not be sold, or we absolve ourselves of risk and do a preorder type thing through Kickstarter? Thoughts?

We can make a kickstarter, get money, print the magazine, throw it in the trash, then six months later mail the trash to half of the kickstarter patrons.

Just goons seems a lot easier to deal with. I'd be happy with that.

I'm honestly happy with whatever and don't have an opinion with what will be done with it. I'd probably just buy one for me and 1-2 other people if we could, but if we can't then whatever.
