No offense but Jamal's looks like a website, not really a magazine. xD I'm whipping up something to show you guys that I'll post soon.

Agreed. It is particularly non-zinish.

I think we're still unclear as to what this ultimately will be. At first I figured it would just be a large 1-page newsletter, but now it seems like it is a mini website put together bi-weekly.

I think we're still unclear as to what this ultimately will be. At first I figured it would just be a large 1-page newsletter, but now it seems like it is a mini website put together bi-weekly.

From what I gather from reading the different topics is that there will be two different styles of the magazine? A 1-page newsletter that is emailed to people with short versions of the stories that will link to the full stories, and then an almost "mini-site" like you said of the actual magazine where you click a button to simulate flipping to the next page.

I think that is a great idea, but I think the "mini-site" should still look and navigate like a magazine, not a website.

ALSO

I have finished my super-duper-uber-rough-draft of my concept for the magazine (atleast the emailed part, I can form this into the actualy magazine too). This is a very rough draft and would love to hear your guys' opinions!

P.S. Does anyone have a good image I can put instead of the Marine? This image would most likely change every issue, but I think it should show the idea of map making and modding more. I just can't find anything good to use xD

I like it (for the email); and you're right that the magazine needs to read like a magazine.

We need to lock in one person who will be actually typesetting and formatting every issue for publication.

"Three can keep a secret, if two are dead." -Benjamin Franklin

"Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell."
-William Shakespeare

Yeah having more than one person do the designs might get a little hectic and the issues might not be consistent.

This is a great wallpaper to use if you want to go into an epileptic fit every time you sit down in front of your laptop, which I guess is a better option than watching Naruto.

I really suggest we throw in the Observer (unit) to play on Observer more. Kevin's idea (Dark_SsjKevin) was really good, with the Half-wireframe-half-actual observer sprite for an image. Maybe an icon or something? Can someone make one of those?

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

The observer-half-wireframe idea and rockz's icon he made are good for an icon, but if we want to add something into the actual logo of the magazine, we'd need a much more hi-res image.

RIGHT NOW!

I could help with that if you are really wanting to. xD

SC doesn't go high res. That's the highest res it goes. It's meant to simply be an icon. I wanted to make an animated gif of some observers spelling out "the observer", but I don't feel like triggering it, and it wouldn't be perfectly looped, especially since I'd want to do it cursive or something.

What's SC2? :wtfage:

xD

I could make a new design for SEN, but I doubt I could actually skin it since SEN is all custom coded. Someone else would have to do it
