Possum Queen 58 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I ended up running into issues with the blackjack and hookers, but as promised, here's the first edition of our very own VHLM magazine: Homegrown. In the future, the format will move from a print magazine to a more web-based approach more in line with the internet age we live in, but it was absolutely fantastic getting to do at least one issue this way. At any rate, thank you to @Bring Back Player 2 (Tri), @OldTimeHockey, @MWHazard, and @Spade18 for contributing as writers for this issue. Literally couldn't have done it without you. VIEW THE MAGAZINE Edit: So, I was deceived by the VHL.com forum name and thought this was somewhere important. Can someone with the ability move this over to media spots?

BluObieZ 1,125 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Looks good. Wish Autograph was a "magazine" because it being online batch of articles kinda handcuffs my creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, like I said, I'll probably gather some articles every now and then and put together an "issue" just for the hell of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banackock 8,040 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Time to collaborate and combine the both of them. VHLM and VHL Mag's/Autograph. 2 Editors, say 6-8 writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a long discussion with the blues, I understand and agree with the direction they want to go. It's not what I initially would have liked, but I'm excited for it to come together. Posting articles as they're written rather than in a magazine format also eliminates the issue we had with OldTimeHockey's article, where it was written ten games into the season and published at 30+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this work. 100x better than any normal posted article. What at a shame. Another classic move to deter da VHL. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Admin Will 4,660 Posted March 11, 2018 Senior Admin Share Posted March 11, 2018 Seeing how awesome this looks, I really want to figure some way to preserve this format... hell, I mean, I think at this stage it’s fair to say precisely nobody is looking at the portal for ‘content’..so just to keep something for the home page, maybe instead of articles on the portal it could just be: VHLM Magazine A nice image A button that opens the full magazine spread A button that links to the forum posting of the mag and then same for VHL Mag Of course then you’re not getting daily content on the portal, but I’m not sure anybody is looking for that at this stage.

I'd be fine with that. Would add some function to the cover as well, if that's the image used on the portal. But as we've discussed, I'm good to work with whatever's decided on your end. We're gonna make it look great either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was kind of impossible to get this look when posting each article individually. It would be like releasing a whole made one page at a time.
