Well i'm thinking of forming an e-magazine team in my current university (aiming the outside market), kind of art magazine like encore and coltea... it's still on the underground-developing progress, so i wonder whether is it considered an illegal activity? if so, what should i register to make it legalized? and would it cause any trouble (like banning etc) if i remain it illegal?

ps~ btw not going to put any excessive stuff...

e-zine isnt illegal unless you are touching politics through arts. Try to confine your free speech and art expression to an extend and more likely you will be safe.

Conclusion is, e-zine isnt illegal in here yet.

I see I see... thanks for your reply, will try my best to remain it Umum...

erm... can i get a sneak peek of your e-zine?? kinda interested...

hehe... well... very sorry that... unfortunately... there's nothing i can show yet... nothing... coz i haven't done anything yet... not even a proper plan... might show you a little bit later...

ok... if u want to do it using flash, do let me noe.. i can provide u the pageflip source so u can use it for ur e-zine...

well i did consider using pageFlip, but there was once when i was making an e-zine demo for a website (a HK website, which is down already ^^") using pageFlip, i found that it's too ma fan to make it interactive... it's easy if you simply attach a bitmap inside, but it takes a lot of effort to attach a flash page coz everytime you click on the page it would reset... o.O (that means have to declare a loooooot of variables to record the "current appearance")... and another problem is, when i attached the pageFlip swf into Macromedia Director (to make it a nicer exe file), it turns very very very slow... so... finally i gave up using it...

btw i've found a chinese free software called ZineMaker, which is very convenient to make the pageflip effect (and attaching flash pages too!)... 99% of China e-magazines are using it now... just that... the person who compiles the magazine needs to understand mandarin... XD

wow... its good but its bad in the same time... haiz... the pageflip source code im using now is simple n easy, but u cant change the size of the page... sucks.. trying to find a way to solve it...

do u have any better pageflip software??? do share...

can change la.. just reszie but better to have better precision.. hoho

tried already, still cant... fully precise but failed... i got it at ipgrafika.ru for its source code...

my regular readings @ http://www.magwerk.com/

Found it simple and friendly interface so might as well share you some inspirations.

Khor, nice idea of having an e-magazine. I had one as well but using different approach. I'm not using Flash which almost all e-zine out there are using. Have a look at mine. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

The Editor, nice work laa... really simple and not heavy... great e-zine...

Thanks lil twist. I'll keep up with the good work.

Ya, the e-zine from TheEditor looks really simple and fast loading but layout is abit too tight / cramp tho.

no sweat... this should be what malaysian do... jump into web base for everything...

Thanks for the input. Which part is tight / cramp? The content? I'd love to hear your suggestions.

Aye, the content. It lacks of sufficient padding on paragraph and the images.

If you are using grid layout, try refine the grid for some space between paragraphs and images / videos.

i love your zine, though its not within my interest but the fast loading really keeps me keep clicking

I'll keep your suggestion in mind. What would you like to see in the e-zine onscreen?

Edit: Should I open another thread for this discussion? It seems it is not related to the title of this thread.

hehe... i read this every month too...

nice magazine you have there! pictures with html text, that's brilliant~ (i saw a lot of magazines using rasterized text that is merged with the pictures, which slow down the download speed) hehe... do you have any tips on how to start an e-zine please?

no worries, i've changed the title...

is that mean additional contents may be added to released issues at any time?

hehe... if any help needed you can contact me, i would try my best to help since i've already done some researches...

yup yup, totally agree with that, and that's why i want to start one...

okies... no prob... i support you 100%....

I used html so that search engine can index my keywords in the e-zine. Not only that, fast loading as well. Yup, additional content may be updated anytime.

Anyone interested to become my e-magazine's contributor? I need contributors to provide article for Jan 2007 issue related to:-

Beauty [Saloon, Facial]
Fashion [New Year; Spring clothes]
Lifestyle [Gardening, Reading]
Body, Mind & Soul [Spa]

Jan's theme would be a complete makeover; have a change to welcome 2007.

oh i've registered a domain, but now seriosly need a name for the magazine!! any suggestion please everyone?

Your e-zine's design is more on which thing? Which element? or watever thing. Based on that, you may find a name for your mag.

i've seen a lot of underground scene mags....ok laaa...nothing illegal....so..whats the tittle of your mags

Decided the name... it's called Arts 2 Kill!!! and I'm registering a domain now... managed to get a 5G space with RM70 annual fees... seems like better than Hive, but the web host is still new, so... not very sure, but it worths... going to start working on it after final assignments...
