I would definitely like to participate. Word of caution: in my limited experience with projects like these, having too much "democracy" can sink the whole endeavor, and having concrete deadlines can be a life saver.

There is also print on demand option like magcloud. That way there is no production costs involved, and we have unlimited number of copies to sell.

I don't mind having humor in the introduction, but having random internet memes that are only local to SA is a bit much. Nothing screams "lack of effort" more than tired, lame jokes. As for the "print readiness", do we have any other guidelines we could use? Are there any color profiles available? Do we know what paper is being used (glossy, matte etc.). I assume 300 dpi files are the standard. Also, I would assume that not everyone might want to have their images displayed as large as possible. Do we have any control of the layout of the two pages each person is allotted?

It's a disparate collection of images from many different people, there isn't much to be said other than "here are some pictures, we hope people like them (or not)" Eh, since it is exactly that, it would be nice to have a short statement to tie them up into a cohesive whole, and present some sort of a framework.

Uncalibrated TV will ruin my sublime and delicate tones of my masterworks! Now I am not making the cut for sure! At least I will have an explanation for being robbed of this magnificent opportunity.

Yeah KS seems like a good idea. Extra 2.5 USD won't be a deal breaker, and maybe some of my friends and family might be silly enough to spring for a copy if it is open to people outside of dorkroom. Quick question: will you be posting a mockup of the layout you are planning for the magazine? I am curious how you will be handling horizontal images in it.

elgarbo posted:Here's a basic mockup with a landscape oriented shots. Imagine the fold dividing these two pages: Looks pretty cool. I would consider aligning the caption with the left side of the photo, instead of centering it, and maybe use regular font for names instead of bold. Maybe having just one line of text. In my mind captions are meant to be unobtrusive, instead of being central to the page composition. Just my 2 cents. The back background idea seems pretty neat! nielsm posted:You can't straight up rotate the page for landscape shots? So you rotate the zine to view those. I've certainly seen that done in print before.

I have been thinking about doing this in some of my books, but I haven't figured out how to make it work well. Mind dropping some titles where I could get some ideas of how to go about it?

Really? We are turning this thing onto an internet meme? I know that this is just a forum zine, but since people are putting time and money into this, I figured we would try to not be too childish about it. Anyways, I figure that in the matters of layout and such things like the back cover, the guys preparing the zine should have the autonomy to choose what they want. Since we all contributed 5 photos and only 2 get selected, the best runner ups could be used for that. Or whatever the head honcho decides he wants to do. That way if we decide to do this again with different editors, we could have variety in presentation, style and material between issues. Just my 2 sleep deprived cents.

The Broyles luck strikes again! Thanks for going through with this elgarbo. I would definitely be interested in getting involved in this next time. Either Layouts/inDesign or selection or anything at all, really. Hope to get my copy soon.
