Suzy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Wonderful! Nice to know we are still finding some inspiration from MIKA. This "positive" thread sure balances out some others... *sadness fading and good feelings coming back* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 hey,count me in,I was on the original thread so...what are the job descriptions? Hi Ioana - great to have you on board! I put a list of all the major roles in the first post of this thread - let me know if you want to help in any particular way, or if you want to just be added under "general help". We're also coming up with a list of possible magazine names, and ideas for what sorts of things we'd like to include - let me know if you have ideas. Thanks!

mandilambi Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Thanks for adding me to the list. I would also be willing to write reviews/give pictures whenever I go to any gigs. I am planning to go to more than one US show whenever they come around, so I am sure I would be able to contribute with that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! ok,so I`m more of a writer,and if you want I can do some drawings and stuff,but I`m limited when it comes to editing and design because first i don`t have the proper programs and secondly,there are people here who are experts in photoshop ,so I won`t interfeer I`ll be thinking of the name,andt for now I`m good in the Writer`s Corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droopsy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Can someone explain to me what : Creative Direction Layout & Design Artwork & Drawings are and in what way they are different from each other? Also, what is really meant with editing? Like putting all together and correct spelling/ make sure everythings fits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ioana Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 btw,being an e-zine,there can be audios added,right? maybe make a contest every month with messages for Mika,and select,say...5 or so that get passed on to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 I'm confuuuuused.. This isn't the official mikazine thread? The other thread was on before this? The other thread seemed to be more about figuring out big picture things - whether it would be print or online, whether it would include photo captions alone or other content. I thought it would be best to create a new thread dedicated to more detailed planning - things like figuring out who can help in what way (such as writing, photos, etc), making a list of the things we want to include - that sort of thing. Not trying to step on your toes (or Bexxy's!) - just trying to get this organized because it's a really cool idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what is really meant with editing? Like putting all together and correct spelling/ make sure everythings fits? Creative Direction is a title I gave to Femifrosk and Bexxy since it was their idea in the first place - that gives them the power to say "I don't like what you're doing, could we maybe do it a different way?" Layout and design is taking all the things - pictures, articles, reviews, etc - and making them fit on the pages in a way that is functional and appealing to the eye Artwork and drawings are things that fans have created, mostly sketches and stuff. And editing is going through and correcting things like spelling, grammar, messaging - that sort of thing. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And editing is going through and correcting things like spelling, grammar, messaging - that sort of thing. Hope that helps! The magazine is a great idea (thanks to Femifrosk and Bexxy) and I think it is starting to look very organized. It does take a lot to gather all the information and get it together in an organized way....but it looks like there area a lot of good volunteers. I do some editing at work and would be glad to help out that way and would also be glad to gather information from various sources and throw them your way....I guess research is my true forte, although I also write technical papers at work. I would be happy to help out in any way that I could. AS for the name, I will vote for Pointlessly Delicious, since it is: 1. so true to Mika 2. leaves the magazine open to limitless creative ideas 3. is a good name for an official magazine from a fan club, would not be confused as an official magazine from Mika There is so much good stuff out there already, just waiting to be put into this beautiful context. Let's go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
