JonMack Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Wurd.I've nearly finished this bad boy, so I thought I'd post it up for people to read/look at/delete or whatever. I'd appreciate it if you could give me your feedback, weather its on the images, the text, or whatever. The Welcome section still needs re-wording, and I've gotta wait til the 10th May for the Chepstow BMX Jam, so that's why that article is blank at the moment, and the wallpapers section is waiting for pictures from there too.It's semi-interactive, the contents can be clicked, all the links can be clicked, and there is a downloads section at the end.So yeah, any feedback you could give would be much appreciated, be it positive or negative.http://www.revmag.co.uk/PDF/Revolution.pdfYou can also check out the website now, at http://revmag.co.uk. It's not 100% done, but it's nearly there.Peace!! Edited May 3, 2008 by JonMack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-i-t-c-h Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Chepstow has a BMX jam! anyway think its really good, as you said welcome need wording but i really like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 :| that was mint, i actualy didnt get bored reading it, and the pictures and everything seemed to go together nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3n Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Looks pretty good on the outset! im not sure some of the background are well selected considering the way your putting text ontop of them, its hard to read a lot of the content (page 7 for example), personally I think if you added a black(low opacity) section under the text it would make it much more user friendly.Page 13 is hot though!

JonMack Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah the backgrounds still need work, am tempted to put a background round the text areas just to increase the legibility, page 13 is a shot which Mark took, and is indeed sick as f**k!Cheers Bren, was hoping you'd reply.

SamHolmes Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Looks really good Only thing Im not keen on are the backgrounds on 12/13 and 14/15, think Id prefer more subtle backgroundsWhat's the font you've used for the titles? Thanks for the Avant Garde font aswell but it was only in mac format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 It's all set in Avant Garde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Awesome work dude! You should easily get a 2/1 or even a 1st for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks a lot man, I really hope so!Dunno how to present it, I was gonna project it, but I thought that you wont be able to scroll through the pages, so I was thinking I could have it on an iMac with a couple of the shots printed as posters and the logo as a big banner behind it... I dunno, I need to speak to my lecturers really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 very nice!! one thing i didnt like was the background on page 7 of 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm uploading a new version now guys with black boxes in the bg, let me know what you think, will be up in about 5 minutes due to my internet being a slug, final file size is 4.21mb, 18 pages. So if yours doesnt have that, then wait a bit and download it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like one word blue maybe, or something. Just seems a bit random just suddenly being there, but it is nice having it in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Word. Looks quite cool.It's finally reuploaded so anyone who was checking out this topic in the last like 20 minutes should probably have a look again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaMmY Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 amazing. i would buy that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just looked through. Im not to keen on the random blue words kinda confused me. Also is each page a double page? If that makes sense? Because there are some images that would work/look better beside each other if its a single page. If its two. Forget it. Think its page 3? Blue sky one is hard to read. Loved completely the layout of the big article on white background. Simple and nice. Photography section is great. Might me just me but could you vary where the text is? Put it into a more open space? Name the trick maybe too? Loved page 13. And also the Jimii treeride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 And also the Jimii treeride Wish I had more good shots to put in it. OBM overload! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Two photos isn't an overload The only thing two OBM photos isn't is enough, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Would anyone be interested in contributing if I were to carry it on? On a quarterly basis?Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Fo sho'I'm no pro with the photoBut I'd have a goYoSlightly less poetic, but more seriously, I'd be very up for helping in some way, maybe articles or something as I'm no OBM when it comes to the old polaroids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 If you wanted to know the location for one of Mike Deere's BMX shot then it's Balcome Viaduct...As seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/klancaster/330163818/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Big fat bump.Cover in progress, some kinda colour scheme added with horrible yellow on white clashing, and other exciting developments.Hit up the link up top to check it out!!Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think the black boxes holding the text should be a bit bigger so there's more of a marginThe 'Issue 1' bit would probably look abit better sat underneath the R aswell And there's something about the white and yellow pieces of text at the bottom on the front cover which doesnt look quite right, doesnt fit in with the cover. Not sure what it is though, maybe its just abit too big..Other than that, looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Not entirely sold on the cover shot. Just a bit dull looking? Like the lit area seems a little bit underexposed, and there's a f**kload of black around what's a pretty un-exciting photo? It looks like it might be a big gap, but the dude's pose and stuff make it look a bit 'meh', which doesn't really fit in with the rest of the mag?
