Yeah that would suck! Strange that he doesn't let us know anything. Although he was online today according to his profile. I really hope we keep on with this project.
 
Yeah, so am I, still haven't heard anything:( Is he on vacation or something? Anyway, looking forward to the next issue :)

He has replied to me. Maybe he doesn't like you? jk :dopey: Not sure. He said he would be sending me some things by the end of the week, so maybe you will hear from him by then as well.
 
Haha, sorry guys! I wrote a post earlier today but I must have pressed preview instead of post! :dunce:

Anyway, I haven't forgot or dropped this project. I simply had quite a lot of work to do out there in the real life ;)
BeardOfChuck, I've made use of some ads in the layout of the next magazine. I'll go easy on them though and await the response. The GTP forum section sound like a good idea though, I don't have the time to manage such a thing even if I wanted to...
Awesome you've written yet another article 👍 I'll give it a read as soon as I can after I've received it.

grafpt contacted me earlier today, and I'll send him a template so he can help me with the layout of the articles. I don't know how this will work out, though I hope it'll work since the workload of creating the complete design can get quite massive. His work will follow my template so the style of the magazine will still feel unite.

I'm sorry I haven't kept you guys up to date, but as I said I've had a lot on my mind.
 
I have an idea for your next issue -
Reader's rides. People should send in random pictures of their cars on GT5 and show them off to the other readers. I could also help out with some pics and articles.
 
Maybe GTPlanet should consider a subforum only about GTLife were only you can add threads or something. So you can add polls, requests etc..


That's a great idea!


👍
 
DONE!!! :)

Sent you the article and some photos to select from.

Thanks for all your effort and let me know if you need anything please!

Kai

Thanks a lot! :)

I've emailed you the article and the layout template, how come you haven't answered?
 
If you want me to make a artic let me know with what you want me to do I know a bunch of guys who race elises and other cars I can intervew them or I know oniichan I can intervew him.

@Schwadegan

Are you still on this project? Haven't seen or heard much progress last couple of weeks. Would be a shame if it decayed. I'm really passionate about this project and willing to do a lot for it. Maybe you should find more people to volunteer on a regular basis. That should take some pressure away from you and make the magazine much more professional I think. Maybe you should go for a serious talk with Jordan to talk about a GT magazine based on the events and community of GTPlanet. Including special forums for it and maybe even a new section next to news. That would REALLY expand the community to a whole new level.

Yes I'm still here. Although now, opposed to before the first release, I have both real work and studies to take care of. Work proceed as normal but in a decreased pace. The magazine #2 is about 19 pages if I remember correctly, and I've got material for a few more which I haven't finished yet. I also have two more articles being worked on by people who assist me for this magazine.
As for the whole forum/community thing I think it's too early to work on something like this, let GTlife grow a bit, get a few magazines out and then we can take a setp back and look at what would be a good move for the future. :)
 
I'll start interviewing some guys this afternoon. I got school holidays for 2 weeks starting in 2 days so I got a lot of time on my hands.
 
I just remembered I did a ad for a school project I'll make a second one and send you a page with 2 ads on it.
 
I have a MS publiser file I would like to send you for the magazine. Could you please pm me with a e-mail address or something that I can send it to you with.Thanks.

I don't work with MS Publisher. Either recreate the content in InDesign or save it as a .pdf before you send me anything. (remember images should preferably hold at least 204dpi)

Sorry to threadromance, but who do I contact if I have a possible contribution to make to the mag? Shoot me a PM.
 
Just finished reading the first issue and it looks great
Can't wait for the second issue... will be submitting soon.
 
Is the 2nd Issue coming out yet, or has this become another dead thread?

Don't worry it's not dead.
I just have a lot of deadlines piling up at the moment and I have to prioritize those that put food on the table... ;)
I think, at the moment, there are finished material for about 19 pages, I'd like to have somewhere around 25 - 30 done before publishing it.

I'm happy you like it!
 
I would like to contribute, but I need to know when the deadline is for the second issue seeing as my studies are taking over my life, I need to plan ahead!
