I really want to make a magazine. I don’t know why, exactly. I think it’s because I like doing art and stuff and…I guess that’s involved? I don’t know how to make one. For some reason last night I came up with a name that I kinda like – “Euzine.” After seeing it typed out it looks kinda weird, like some sort of medicine. It means multiple things. First of all, it’s a mix between “Eugene” and “Magazine,” but it’s also “Eu-” for good/perfect and “Zine” which isn’t really a suffix but it’s the last syllable in “magazine.” (also I think it’s the name of a small magazine thing.)
For the content, I was thinking it’d have a variety of things. I haven’t put much thought into that part yet, so I’m pretty much writing here whatever comes to my head. I want it to be news/local information but also have pictures and art from submissions by readers. Also recipes that people submit or that I find online. I want to use lots of pictures, so I need to get better at photography. Also, I want to write articles about the local news and stuff but I don’t really like writing so I’d need writers and journalists (which I’d like to help with) to help me. I have an idea for what the cover art would look like but I haven’t finished drawing it yet. Maybe once it’s dont I’ll edit this post to add it.
Also I have no idea how magazines are made. I would assume there’s some special software for overlaying the text onto pictures or something but I don’t know what it’s called. Also printing and advertising would be pretty difficult, I have no idea how I’d do that. Maybe the first few issues will be digital?
Thanks for reading my random list of ideas for a magazine. ❤(ˆ‿ˆԅ)
