GRAPHICA - SL Publication - details

Hello everyone,

I have cross posted this in a few forums beacuse it really applies to a few:

I am nearly finished and ready to release the 1st issue of GRAPHICA - an SL publication which will be free to readers and will be available in game.

The publication is centered around the people that make up SL, the personalities and the profiles that shape our world. It is done in an almost graphic-novel style and I am including samples of the mag in this post. The behaviour of the magazine object itself is impressive It flips it's pages and is carryable and copyable.

I hope you'll enjoy the prelim shots of the mag layout here - and i am looking for people who would be willing to place a small newstand on their land to distribute (freely) the magazine to their visitors.

PLEASE contact me by IM if you wish to host one of the newstands, I will have a limited number of them initially and I'd like to start distribution as of wednesday.

Our first profiles include :
-Nephilaine Protagonist
-Philip Linden
-Francis Chung
-Cubey Terra

Please help me make the launch a success by hosting the boxes if you're interested.

Cheers,

Trent Hedges

Whee!! It's looking great - and i can say that, since i've seen previews. *privlidged*

I was wondering - are you thinking about having a set time frame for releases? one a month? every two months?

Also, who are you pondering for your next line up?

my aim is to have more than one release per month - perhaps every 2 weeks depending on availability of folks for interviews!


next names... Schwanson Schlegel is on the list..

and of course suggestions are welcome - with attached reasons for interest!

i think putting myself in the magazine might be a conflict of interest until i have other writers In the meantime you MIGHT see an ad for trentcycle or juice clothing

Wow, looks good Trent. Love the masthead! Keep us posted when it's ready and where to find it.

Looks great, Trent, can't wait to see it... how big is the newsstand?

Looks good, Trent! Can't wait to see it!

I'll host a stand for it, but I need you to join a group to place it. I'm going out of town tomorrow morning, so I'll try and hop in world tonight and drop you a LM and a group invite to use if you're interested.

good question! Here is a look at the newsbox - pretty small size - and the images on the magazine cover will adjust to whatever is the current version automatically

Excellent!

I'd be happy to have your mag on our land.

Looks great! You can put one on my land in Minna.... I'll IM you when I'm on next with the location.

Trent,

We will happy let you host a distro box on our land, and give you a featured item spot for a few days if you put them up on secondserver.net.

Just look for my home, aka the green dumpster that Aimee built! Can't miss it.

YAY.

So wait. When do I get to be in this Graphica thing?

Its the kind of slick-put-together idea that makes you say -- 'dammit, he thought of it first.'

Good job, I like the style, and the pageflips courtesy of Francis

Ya, it's startlingly beautiful. I still want in.
