Wow! This is some awesome work man! Thanks for all the effort!Follow-up: Here is a PDF of the temp cover + my initial draft of an NFT article: https://cyberbob.neocities.org/pdfs/ezine.pdf
@Jessica3cho Do you have InDesign?
All, please ping here if you're working on any art or articles!
YESSSWow! This is some awesome work man! Thanks for all the effort!
I don't have an InDesign, didn't even know about it to be honest. I'll see about picking it up this week.
Also apologies. I've had some PC issues over the last week. Got it sorted, though and I'm going to grind out some content this week. Work on a cover for your Cover vs Cover idea, some page formatting, and a Nostalgia opinion piece.
shit, i guess i'll try and keep the pages as neat as possible for the time being. i'm not opposed to scanning them in, I'm just worried that my notes will really only make sense to myself. although, depending on how long each issue is, one/two pages scanned would be the perfect size/length for a weekly astrology lesson...I definitely vote that scans of your hand printed pages be used in the zine, instead of typing it.
a timeline will become more clear once we feel we are roughly half way to a full issue. for now, let's create, and create and create. writing, drawing, etc.The userbase of Agora is quite eclectic, but I feel like there is some kind of ineffable vibe or sense of taste that connects us. A magazine filled with articles from people of various interests makes for something I both really want to read and contribute to myself. I don't have any visual design stuff to contribute, but I definitely want to submit an article. When is the deadline for submission?
Thanks for the update! I actually finished the article yesterday, but wanted to sleep on it so I could look over it with fresh eyes. I'll do that once I get back from work. I should have it for you via DM by today.Time for another update! Preview: https://cyberbob.neocities.org/pdfs/ezine.pdf
- @l@in is here are you working on an article still? Feel free to DM me to brainstorm or help with editing!
You should take a peak in the ad creatives thread. https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php?threads/agora-road-ad-creatives.3370/#post-10582Time for another update! Preview: https://cyberbob.neocities.org/pdfs/ezine.pdf
The good news is, we're up to page 29. However, that includes ~5 blank pages earmarked for fake ads.
I need help!

There's still time to get involved in a huge way. Do not miss out on the fun and opportunity to have your name and creation(s) in Issue #1!
Ohhh, I don't have the magazines, but if you're pressed for time I could translate some stuff too if you send me pics. Spanish is my native tongue,I could write and article and do my own designs InDesign (i know how to use it, i'm no expert, but i know how to work in it) about retrogaming, i want to start talking about Secret of Evermore, a really underrated RPG from the Snes, i used to read a lot of club nintendo magazines, and i know the context, damn i can even translate the magazine to spanish in my free time.

Perfecto amigo, no te preocupes, lo decía por si no tenías tiempo. Sigue así.Amigo, yo hablo 2 y medio idiomas, no necesito preocuparme por la traducción, el español es de hecho mi lengua materna también.
Ill try my best to get something out but no promises. Exams and assignments are really tying me down these couple of weeks.
