Making a 32 page magazine. [Contribution required]

**Krow** · 09-09-2009, 07:04 PM

I have this project in which I'm supposed to be making a couple of four page newspapers and a magazine. The newspapers I am not worried about, but the magazine concerns me as I can't decide on a particular theme.

So I came up with this idea today. I'm planning to make a bloggers mag, in which the best of various blogs will be published. Now I have a page limit of 32 which I gotta fill. Of this I can have 40% ads (trying to have as less as possible).

Here is the part where I need help. First, please tell me whether you like the idea of a bloggers mag. If not, then please suggest an alternate theme. Please don't suggest the usual travel, tech, fashion, music, movies, celebs, etc. The evaluation is not based on the content, but majorly the layout. Secondly, if bloggers here are willing to allow me to publish (with full attribution ofcourse), I need to know.

As usual, all feedback welcome.

I thing the idea is good!! It's different and yet interesting!!! Try to have different genre of bloggers...that'll be interesting!!

Or you can fill the magazines with Swears of South Park!!

I want to try that sure! But SP swears won't earn me accolades IMO.

I'll definitely try diff genre of bloggers! Thanks for your reply. You want to contribute something to my mag?

Is it gonna be an actual hardcopy mag or an e-mag?

**Krow** · 10-09-2009, 08:59 AM

Well, I have to make the soft copy. If needed, then its not difficult to get it printed is it? Size: A4.

thewisecrab · 10-09-2009, 03:05 PM

full attribution for content is a bit unnerving IMO

I didn't quite catch ya there mate. Btw can I use your blog content? I'll attribute it to thewisecrab or your real name... Clear isn't it? Anyway, this is a project and totally non-commercial, so don't worry I won't be making money out of your hard work.

About my content, I'll have to think about it.

To catch more bloggers however, check out the "Bloggers Corner"

Tecalomaniac you are a good photographer.

But if you wish/need you can print my images there. My image of rose is a perfect example of blurr effect. You can also contact Cool_G5 and pimpom for there articles/images.

**Krow** · 13-09-2009, 07:29 PM

^Thank you... All I needed was your permission for the photography section. Won't be using anything until I get permission from various people.

I'll take a lot of your photographs as I admire your eye for nature.

Any sports will do. Better if non-cricket. man, I can take an article on recent news (upto 1.5 months old). If you can gimme two articles of 500 words each, I can dedicate an entire page to you.

Also, specify the name you wish to be known in my mag as(u may pm if you dont wanna disclose here) and the website where i should link it to. I can even link it to ur TDF member URL.
