Shall I add myself to the list, or is someone doing that?
For mine, I used a professional flyer template I downloaded once, which was 2625 x 3375. However, the exact specs are something we should decide as a group, right? Anyone more knowledgable than I willing to offer a suggestion?Jeweul wrote:What are the dimensions if I were to make a new canvas in PS?
). Some submitted questions would be nice, or I could make some up. But I am no good at photo editing, so that part will have to go to someone else. Maybe I could just submit text?

well... I know I'm only submitting text myself, maybe with a complimentary picture to go with what I end up writing because I can't do anything design-wise, the only photo-editor I know how to vaguely use is picmonkey but you can't create a page with thatmysterylovescompany wrote:It kind of looks like we're making our own version of , just more meta. I can't help thinking of what Dan said at the start of his most recent ISG: it started out as a joke but gradually got more and more serious as it went along.
If it's not already taken, I'd love to do the editing tips column that swofro mentioned earlier (or is that too similar to IckleMissMayhem's MSG?

mysterylovescompany, go for it! I imagine a lot of people will just be submitting text. You can always include links to pictures you think might look good or just a general idea of what you envision your section(s) to look like, and one of us designers can take it from there. Or not! Up to you.
Well for now I think we'll just claim whatever you guys need us to do at least until we get a basic idea of the magazine and after that we can choose who wants to design what (after everyone that wants to contribute has a subject picked)manged wrote:Wheat a minute. So for those of us offering illustrations to go along with articles, is someone going to assign us to a piece of written work? Or is someone just gonna yell out "Hey I need someone to draw XYZ" and an illustrator claims it?
Tbh the earlier I can get started on something, the better
Yes! This should definitely be done. It would be great.mysterylovescompany wrote:

Maybe upload it to OneDrive or on some kind of uploading site and share the link here like daphenaxa did? When I have a little more time I'll look into a site for us to upload everything, if anyone has any suggestions on this please tell us.vortexofphan wrote:Yes! This should definitely be done.

Question: I have my part as a PDF, but I'm rather technologically challenged, so, how do I upload it to here?
hey you should totally write that. I think we need kinda serious in depth pieces like that. Also you can use the msgs that people leave on the main thread now about the "dad Dan" advice video that Dan is gonna drop. Some are quite negative but I think its very interesting.asimfrickinzazzed wrote:

I think if it's a crack fic like say, Phil's fanfic (or maybe oqua's too), or just a fic with no romantic mention like Dan's it could work? Everyone could enjoy it whether or not they like to read phanfic and wherever they are on the shipping scale.LurkingTrash wrote:

The idea sounds fun just post it here on the thread and we'll see what we can do about the graphics and layoutstarlight-still wrote:I freaking love this idea and have been trying to think of something to contribute since yesterday, and here's what I've come up with: horoscopes.
Actually, "Deposcopes" to be exact
They won't be the usual signs, they'll have their own special system.
I mean, if that's OK...you guys don't have to add it if you don't want but I will send it (just let me know where) and then you can decide or add graphics, etc...
It would be amazing if you could help with the graphics! Most of us don't have that much experience with the holy trinity and just use them for fun (I'm now installing the InDesign because I feel like I can work easier with it than photoshop alone) so a professional would make a big difference!kooshka wrote:This seems like a really fun idea and I'm so happy you're making it happen! I would love to contribute, I'm shit at coming up with actual content but I have some professional background in editorial/graphic design and can work my way around the holy trinity of PS, Illustrator and InDesign, so if there's any need for extra help with that stuff I'd be glad to make myself useful.
