We need something to bring the community together. Something that allows the community of the people to connect and branch out and showcase whats going on and teach each other about what we do than just face value. We're attempting to bring you a source, on a monthly basis, of an online magazine that includes interviews, reviews, tutorials, commentaries, comics, news, resources, advertisements and more.

Issues:
May - http://issuu.com/stickpage/docs/issue1

Where did this idea come from?
Originally started back at fluidanims.com, we had a short period where we released an online magazine, or 'FA MAG.'
http://issuu.com/travissteven/docs/vol1_ep2

Due to the lack of organization on my part, we couldn't continue, however it proved to be a very vital and fun part of what people really enjoyed in the community. Bringing this back to life has been something planned for awhile, but now its time to take action.

We've compiled a team together of some willful, talented volunteers to begin this expedition to try and bring forth interesting and intriguing content on a monthly basis compiled into issues to be viewed by the community, posted for the community as well as showcased to the public on the main stage of the site itself. Once again, another way for us to get in touch with that beastly front page that seemingly gives the community less room for showcasing its flavor.

TEAM

Oxob - Resources, Tutorials [completed]
Flamedude - comics, humor and reviews
Kazi - Interviews, reviews
Haze + dresnet - Articles
stone - News + compilation

Proof Readers
AGSys
Exilement


Releases

Each issue will be completed and released at the beginning of each month

This thread serves as a resource for those putting forth effort into the project as well as others to see the progress and potentially pitch in themselves.

Format

- Content must be written up in a word doc / notepad
- Images, diagrams and graphics are encouraged to improve your section. Just keep in mind that it will be layed on top of a magazine layout design- so as far as graphics go,be sure you aren't covering your entire piece as it still needs to flow well with the rest of the design on the magazine itself. Refer to the above link to get an idea.


UPDATE:
- created front page

Yeah there is definitely room for more staff members. Considering Smile's apparent impatience and sarcasm, I don't think he'll be up for consideration on this one.
Also, reviewers who might be covering Stick War 2, let me know because I can get you in contact with the developers in order to give your int.

alright, i already interviewed someone?
i was more hoping to see the game a bit and review on what you've got lol
if that doesn't work i can just interview CJ and I can use the other interview for next time.
If that doesn't work, I'll just find something else to review.

... I hope that made sense.
