What do you think on the idea of having a community run magazine? Whether you want to write for it, or just read it.
The writers would have their own ranks, there would be a hidden board for planning and discussions, the majority of staff members would be working closely - but this is your gig guys. We won;t be controlling what you say/put in it.
It's pretty much anything goes, and it could be a lot of fun to run competitions have regular articles and really develop some interest.
We have come up with some ideas so far:
Interviews with prominant designers Reviews on Art Discussion on the latest trends The best songs to listen to while designing Random Rambles community games, like crosswords and stuff.
Or anything else that you guys want to add to it.
Please, this is just an opinion poll - want to see how everyone feels that this would be. If it looks popular, it will be released along with another major update that is up and coming.
Thanks guys.

I'd personally be enthralled to see a VS Magazine, and I'd be more than happy to write for it.

Same here, I would be interested in writing for it. May not be able to design very well but I still think I can help out in other places lol.

Don;t have to be able to design for it really There are plenty of other areas that could be written, thats the beauty of it I guess.

I would write and read it, but it better be good. I have a very selective reading process.

I write for the Vision Press over on PV, and a variety of other magazines and newsletters, but a VS Magazine would be the cherry on top!
I would LOVE to write for a VS Magazine, and could help with editing if needed.

his would be really good i think! I'd love to see you design something, something different to all the 'normal' newsletters? Writing for it could be interesting too.

I think this decision has pretty much been made. We will leave the thread open - but you guys are keen, we are keen. We will get it happening in the staff board then Thanks everyone for their input. This magazine will be unique and different and amazing

I've seen this on other sites. It's tricky to pull off, but if done well can be pretty successful. I'd be happy to help out with it.

We should make articles too Its community run, so you guys would be making your own articles up - or writing something else that is on the list, or whatever you want I guess. We aren't going to censor MUCH, (basically child porn and stuff that is just wrong). So yea, if you are going to be writing for the magazine, you will be deciding what you want to write. Me and Sunjo will have a pre-made list of design related material that we think would be good to write about, and then you go through and select what you want to write about. If nothing suits you, or everything is taken - you make up your own!
