I just noticed Thom's cover maybe we can collab on getting the cover done. This is the one I did. I just put the pic and text to bring it to life. I still want to help with the Photos end of it too.

i dont really like the picture that much but cool text and junk and i think that once was my deck ha

lol nah its an Emanant Deck from flatface. Not really a favorite pic for me either but its for clarity of the picture not really a suggested photo for the cover. thanks for the input. much appreciated.

I think it looks good, IMO if theirs a deck featured heavily in the cover photo it needs to be a clearly customized one.

Update: as of right now there are
9 finished pages ( just finished 100% original 3 page interview
2 pages for index
9 open pages

Cut Off Date 10-21-10
if we get everything in and done by 10-21-10
the printer can take weeks like 4 to 6 weeks
so even with a kill date of 10-21-10
its completely possible to still not have physical copies in hand by mid December

what do you mean customized?

Here is another version around the same idea. Just added a little more to give a general idea of ways to tweak it and maintain the general layout. hope you guys like it. The photos are just for my quality clarity and subtitles for how it could look with brief spotlight content on the outer page.

Nice but you cant have tutorisl video on a magazine

lol danny well i guess we gotta have readers also so right on

What program are you using for the Layouts? If it's Photoshop i may well just be able to do something for it

we only have til thursday? I'll try my best to get something down for it, but I'm feeling really ill atm so I cant work at my fastest by any means..

No Rafi pay attention bro thats why I put the snap of a mid impossible on the cover its photos snapping frame by frame the the motion for the impossible. and if you read what I wrote it wasn't for sure totally just an idea. Thats why it says "inside" I can easily explain it under the pictures the how to. You do understand that tutorial doesn't mean video right? Also I never said once in there the word "video".

That cover looks really good, i like the name and subhead.

Thom I'm just using Microsoft digital image, basically just a program to edit pictures and I'm adding text around

Kerry i feel you, welcome to flu season But like i said before if we want to have something done and printed before Christmas, we gotta have it in ASAP.

I do want you to know I get what you mean so here is an edit cause I thought about it and the idea is to make it to were there is no confusion so I reworded the text. Here it is:

You know that looks cool, but i'm thinking the subhead needs to say something about "culture" in it,

because that's really the point isn't it, to say here are some articles/reviews/ and other FB related stuff because that's what we like. not just FB tricks but the entire bubble of FB influence

i think "international Fingerboard Magazine" is not inclusive enough

i like "5 Ply" because it can mean different things to different people.

5 ply as a name works so well, and we need a subhead with that same feeling,

covers look really good...also why are you 'rushing' to get this done for Christmas? why not not worry about a deadline and get it perfect?

Perfect? never gonna happen if we wait for perfection we'll just have another dead idea on our hands. I think just having a physical mag will motivate people, then we can make improvements and grow with the next issue

To be honest also i have a lot of other stuff going on and this just kinda came up, In a week or so i'm gonna be
busy adding new stuff to my site and finishing some other projects
so it is what it is you know

yeah i sent you a message with a review

Rafi that's awesome that will totally work if you want to do another one feel free, it can be a whole section,do you have an ad or anything you want placed?

Jack perfect very nice pics also jack send me an ad you want to use

i'll get the pages layed out then show them to you guys

Content Contributors = 2

ah thanks bobby! yeah i might do a lowpro review later

Rafi don't worry about another review man what you sent was about two pages all ready. It's gonna look cool layed out, i'll show you when i'm done

Ok awesome

okay Rafi its done man i just need to know what name to use on the reviews , and send me an email so i can send you the pages to review as an attachment

Update:
open pages =
page 2 single
pages 10-11 double page (middle of mag)
page 13 single
page 18 single
we can still change pages and add remove pages no worries, so that's not in stone.
but this is is

pages 6-7 set ups Jack

pages 14-15 reviews Rafi

the pic is still not as clear as it should be

is thursday still good to work on it? Cos I'll be free all thursday and will be able to do something for this.

I totally agree with blosom though.. rushing it seems silly.. because a badly made physical copy will just push people away from it I reckon.

Yes Kerry Thursday night ,early Friday will be fine

A quickly made magazine will do more to promote fingerboarding then doing nothing at all !
I 100% guarantee that.

I am trying to extend the reach of FB , I'm not trying to rush I'm trying to push.

Update:
Apparently for the mag to be big enough for retail, the size needs to increase to a minimum of 24 pages.
So previous page numbers will be void
Free pages now = 9

i can advertise for the mag. and also i can help with it if you want.
