The Re-Volt Magazine
News, Comics & Much More on the Way
Ever dreamed about having a real book in your hands, filled to the top with Re-Volt related content? The Re-Volt Magazine is a project I started back in the beginning of 2009 hoping that a magazine could be sent to whoever wanted a copy, within a half year. Later I figured out that it takes time to plan a magazine and with a very little budget, I neither could effort expensive software to help me with the layout and design. You are therefore always welcome to help the RVM Team, just contact me using the e-mail below!
Requirements & Techincal Details
The Re-Volt Magazine members are very welcome to any kind of software to work and in the end finish their tasks as long as I receive everything in the right format as well as resolution. Magazines happen to be using 3 times as many pixels as for example the internet does, and therefore it's important that you are oriented, even before you request membership of the RVM Team.
The Table of Contents
The first couple of pages in the Re-Volt Magazine, is going to be a list of content in the rest of the magazine. An outermost good thing to have in books you can leaf through.
Current Tasks:
- Modifying layout
- Creating small descriptions
- Make or modify headers
News Section
We'll shortly take a look at the greatest news, in the last half year, just before the magazine is done. For now, there isn't much to do, tho.
Current Tasks:
- Creating layout
The Comic Stripes
The comic section will be the entertaining part of The Re-Volt Magazine and therefore also the biggest challenge because of the high requirements there already is. Since the RVM project started, we've got a lot of the practical done tho and at the moment we're only out of ideas and extra hands.
Current Tasks:
- Creating manuscripts - Extra hands needed!
- Creating comics - In progress
- Creating layout - In progress
- Comics management - In progress
Interviews
We'll do a small interview with a more or less meaningful person from the Re-Volt community. The interview will fill 1 or 2 pages all after how many team members joins.
Current Tasks:
- Finding one more to interview
- Creating questions
- Setup the layout
- Finding facts about the person who is interviewed
Re-Volt Testing Panel
The magazine will of course also have a test panel, which will give constructive critizm as well as good words about the chosen cars & tracks.
Current Tasks:
- Find 5 members for the test panel - DONE
- Find 6 things to test - On the way
- Setup the layout
- Preparing & Doing tests & reports - In process
- Creating the rating concept - Pending
Miniviews
In this section I work on the so-called 'miniviews'. A very simple way to make fun small interviews on. About 4-6 miniviews will be inside the magazine on about 2-3 pages (2 on each).
Current Tasks:
- Creating layout - Basically Finished!
- Creating sentences - In progress
- Creating the miniview logo - pending
