    Nice idea, but I don't know if the logo design is the first thing to do. ;)

    the only thing i don't understand about this, is why it has to be a magazine? :unsure:

    the idea is great, but why choosing the old-fashioned format of serving content to people (magazine)... this whole thing would go much better as a blog, with it's own journalists;
    we could even sell the subscriptions, so our journalists would receive some payment for their time/work.

    partially, the project could be something between these:
    Code:
    http://tutsplus.com/
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/
    obviously, if you want to do this with me, the only position i'd agree on is the highest one. :sad:

    Saint, not a better seasoned boss around!
    Those two examples is what I had in mind,
    I think it could be cool a mag-blog, to post reviews tuts and tips, etc. with a level of interactivity and visual!
    I'd like to participate because I want to gain some experience trying wordpress, joomla or alike.
    I have some programming and graphics bg but all has been very static.
    Also participate in projects it's good because pushes you to take crash-courses about many interesting things!

    next:
    1. find writers
    2. build a more specific image of what it is we're doing and how it all should be done
    3. wait for me to finish two other projects :)

    Hey Saint, joint05
    Is anything that I could do...in order to be helpful?
    I'll do some reseach on blogging capabilities of wordpress, I might take a look to other cms(any preferences on this matter?)
    Looking for some sort of draft (visual)

    no need for that. After years of disappointment from trying different CMS, I'll stick with WordPress for long time.

    sure! the same thing i wrote in the previous post:
    1. find writers
    2. build a more specific image of what it is we're doing and how it all should be done
    *yes*
    i mean, AudioZ is so special because we're all building it together. before i do some changes, i always put a poll asking what members want;
    same goes here - we all should put our ideas in it.

    I'll start to develop some graphics (vectors or so),
    I thought about a red bg and giant speakers and ppl or aliens dancing.
    I have some free time.
    If the outcome is horrible I'm not showing it :bleh:

    some news for you: i've just came up with a name for this project: Audiozine :dancing:
    and the domain name: www.Audioz.in
    :grooves:
    i think it's awesome. even though there is one site with the similar name from South Africa, there are no magazines.

    naah, current AudioZ logo sucks hard. i haven't worked in design for a long time, and that was my first job after a while.
    I've made i huge progress and the next version will be legendary. ;)

    excellent!

    amazing idea!

    but from now on, let's discuss things somewhere else... there are too many thefts in this world :(

    the more ideas we have, the better.

    exactly what i had in mind!!!


    okay, i think we should just move it to a separate topic, where we could discuss things privately.

    Rolma and Joint, you should be able to view the new forum on the bottom of the forums list

    anyone who wants to join, please leave a message here, explain why you want to join and what can you offer.

    as i said before, this won't be built on altruism only. in perspective, journalists will have articles for sale, so you could actually make some money for yourself.

    this project has a great future, so if you feel like you can make a good addition, let us know.
