So anyway, that it for now... I've made a start... need a few more artists and then to start laying out the content...

thanks to all the contributors...
d

presentation and document feedback...

main feedback

quality specs should be linked to the out comes more clearly... "the quality of the magazine will enhance the users experience due to ...."

swot - s and w are more about what we can bring to the magazine wile the o and t are about the risks and opps of the magazine on the market...

draw up a schedule of productivity... dead lines - objective goals...
speaK of time as an asset...

bonnie spoke of "RATE CARDS" which specify what percentage of adds come for how much money.... definatly look that up...


that was pretty much it... i'm pretty happy how it all went... lets make a magazine...

where are we up to?

so far i've canvassed a whole bubnch of people on flickr as to supplying content. Additionally to this we have basically mapped out everything we want in the magazine...

additionally to this its important to think of some kind of gimic that allows us to be seen as something different from the standard... street mag type time out type mag...

i'm on that....
oh and maybe change the name.. i'm pretty sure autopsy is actually the name of a band....

Where are we at?
