Okay... Back to the magazine

First off; let me apologies for being so slack and not posting for a week. I was tied up in lots of other work. For starters; we have good and bad quotes or more to the point; really expensive and those a bit more in our range.

After some discussion we have decided to modify the scope of our intended magazine. Rather then having this magazine for general distribution, it will jsut be a tool as for gaining interest. So considering that; if its not being ditributed then we don't necesarily need permision to copy stuff of web pages. For example; paste photoshop tutes that are web based in our magazine. So thats cool. We have a bit more flexibility as it turns out.


In addition, we've moved on to approaching some more locally based galleries to supply us with exhibit info for upcoming shows and so forth. If we can atleast get them an add at least next year when we go back and ask for advertising rights then perhaps we'll be a shoe in.

Personally i like the idea of the magazine being more about our ability to design layouts and gather information rather than buisness side and so forth.

ANd this leads us to another point that has arisen... the magazine launch...

For our exhibition at the end of semester; we will treat it like a magazine launch. Even though we won't be able to get that many magazines printed (see later post) we can still give away stickers, shirts, balloons and stuff. Perhaps some prints. Have a bit of a slide show or something.... Thats all pretty vague at the moment. I'll keep you posted.
