ARTT100 Final Project - Magazine
Wednesday, after reminding us to put our 'Split Complement' pieces on the board in the hall for all to see, gave us our final problem for the semester, the culmination of all we had worked on before – designing the cover for a new magazine.
There were three main things we had to consider.
Anyway, I got an idea. You know how back in the 'pulp' days they had sci-fi on the shelves at drugstores?
Yes, exactly.
As far as decisions so far, I've come up with (a) it's going to be PG, non-SF-fandom friendly stories and essays, and (b) it's standard large format, like Sports Illustrated and Aboriginal Science Fiction.
So, the point of this post: I'm going to have to come up with some description-of-what's-inside text; does anyone want their name on the cover? (And if you have a story that fits the bill I can try to illustrate, still better.)

There were three main things we had to consider.
- Subject. He recommended working an issue dear to our hearts, here.
- Format. Does it have a closure? Vertical or horizontal? Regular binding, spiral binding, some other binding? Does it have to be rectangular? Etc.
- Audience. Is this a mass circulation magazine a la Newsweek, or a 'boutique' magazine like 2600? (No, he didn't offer those examples.)

Also potentially pictured is Lia, a hot female humanoid alien with light blue skin and a ridiculous alien antennae that look rather a lot like a pair of deelie-boppers. Lia is dressed in an extremely harlotized Starfleet-ish uniform, possibly torn open to the cleavage. She is rather a lot taller than Buck, which makes the pose where he stands there looking protective of her as they gaze off together at some unseen threat all the more ridiculous. She would be draped across his chest if she could reach it without squatting, in other words.

I don't think I've got the artistic chops to pull it off, though. :(

(It's the fantastic adventures of Scribble Man and Murky Trapezoid! Thrill as they encounter invisible adversaries in their otherwise featureless two-dimensional planar world!)
