Whose interested in something like this?

[Moonkea]

A loooong time ago, GT3 I believe (or was it 4? Meh, not important) I was into photo mode pretty big, even made a music video I was so into the game, but eventually of course things slowed down and every other game came before the GT series.

But now GT5 has landed it's back on, and I wanted something different from photos. I'm not sure if I've settled on what I want, but I'm chucking forth an idea to you guys to see who would be interested in a different way to see a gallery.

Instead of just presenting image upon image (which I'm not knocking by the way, I've certainly done it myself), I want to group some images together and get some thoughts across about the car, track, AI, whatever.

Here then is an initial mock up to test the waters, let's hear some thoughts and maybe you'll see more of this, or an extension of this over in the gallery (and if my thumbnails are too big, don't hesitate to shout at me to change them).

So basically a Magazine/Article layout incorporating GT5 photo's and relavant text.

Or at least thats what I see it as.

Could be interesting, I had a similar thought myself. Does require a bit of time though to do well. But I might have a go at some point.

Maybe over time having done a few you could almost put a mag/book style thing together with them. Alot of effort though.

Hey Moonkea, a few of us actually did that once in a while in our galleries during GT4. It's a lot of fun, since it makes the gallery more than just "here are some pictures". This sort of creativity is all sorts of okay, in my book 👍

this would be awesome.

This is great, and I'd definitely contribute on the layout/graphic design portion of it. Not such a good photographer though haha.

This is amaizing. I would love to see and read more of this type of photograph race reports.

Here's the other initial idea that kicked this off. I'm thinking that if I do something like this, it'll be less wordy. Or then again I might push myself to go the whole distance and make some sort of collection of them. Or I might just end up playing GT5. Who knows. Provided I have time and energy I guess.

But thanks for the comments thus far.

Why don't we publish an online magazine?

Great idea..i can contribute to the layout as well..i work with this stuff, familiarized with illustrator/photoshop/indesign...

I just don have GT5 yet.... hahaha

 

[Moonkea]

At the very least, you've got ideas for Photomode competitions.

I'd love to start an online GT5 magazine. I have a bit of experience with InDesign, and I'm damn good at Photoshop. Hell, Forza has Forza zine, why can't we?

Nicely done, and look forward to seeing more.

"Don't hit the cones!"

Hahah--for some reason I laughed when Jeff said that in the challenge. 👍

Well i don't see why we shouldn't do it! If people are experienced in doing that kind of stuff why not?
