Ok, so it's done... the mag

[Rashika]

Okay its done...finally...hand in on tues at beginning of class, and cos I am hopefully looking at a couple of bikes this weekend,if theres anything wrong with it I DONT WANNA KNOW!!!

The brief was basically like this:
8-12 pages (depending on how damn good you are :Punk: ), B&W, any topic of your choice, had to have 1 1/2 page advert with a pic you took yourself.
So I had to source everything, but dont be too hard on me for what is in it :nono:

I've saved it as a pdf file but being 12 pages it is about 2.4 mbs to download

Thanks to all those who contributed, hopefully I have acknowledged everyone?

Hopefully my tutors like it too...

[Waylander]

Wicked!!! And you did put the code in there. Nice!!!:woohoo:

[Grizz]

Looks awesome, had a brief skim, will print it out at work, love the firestorm bits, but then I would. Top job.

[crashe]

Well done.... congratulations

I have just had a wee skim of it..
Looked for the Editor, story writer etc... But couldnt find your name on it...

[dangerous]

Not that I'm so vain I have to read bout me over and over again... but damn I look good LOL if i think hard nuff.... its just like a real mag..... top marks :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Kickaha]

Dunno who told you that but they were obviously a lying bastard :finger:

[Kickaha]

Oh yeah, awesome effort Rashika :2thumbsup

[Coyote]

Bloody brilliant :niceone:

[stanko]

Good work Rashika, took 10min to read , probably took you 10 hours to do.
can you sell bits to BRM?

[Marknz]

Great effort... well done.

[placidfemme]

Thats kewl! And Un-Caged is a great title! Well done :)

[Wolf]

Way to go, Rashika! Excellent.

And thanks for posting it on here. If I were grading it, I'd give full marks (I refuse to admit any bias owing to subject matter).

It looks truly professional - layout etc. You've put your own particular "stamp" on it - like using lowercase characters in the section titles etc. Nice use of pictures and "empty" space to balance the text, too.

[Skunk]

Nice job! :clap:

[James Deuce]

That rocks!!

[zadok]

Woohoo, very professional. I'm impressed. :clap:

[Wolf]

It's printed out and on my desk - looks good in "dead tree" format.

You will be posting and letting us know what your teachers thought, I hope.

[Biff]

Brilliant. Well done you.
And for next months edition - The Biffbird.......?

:o now I'm blushing from all the compliments

They should do - it is clear and easy to read, not as cluttered as some of the professional mags. Aesthetically pleasing.

BTW, glad you went with "Uncaged" as a title.

If I were to see a mag of that title on the stands, I would buy it - it has a "by bikers for bikers" feel about it and hints of a certain rebelliousness and "wildness".

Loved the way you put Dangerous' handle on the cover - for those of us on KB it's an instant indication of the content.

[Wolf]

Brilliant. Well done you.

I would like to see a next month's edition. Rashika, you may have inadvertently got yourself into something, here...

Too bad the tutors don't take public submissions - we could send reviews of the mag to them.

Anyway, if they don't like it, to paraphrase: "Damn the tutors, let my public decide!"

[Beemer]

It looks pretty good from where I stand, so well done. I think your tutors will be very impressed - be sure and let us know!

I'd luv to do another edition, but got other briefs to do...exciting stuff like a banner...bleh...then a childrens books...damn i cant draw for shit!
we get to start on freehand next which of course I know inside out as I use it at work all day, so will have to find something else to occupy my time

hmmm.......might have to send the tutors along to the site before they mark it :)

[gav]

Best to send them after they've marked it. Wouldnt want them finding all "your" work now, would we? :nono:

ah yeah...they may wonder why I was on KB instead of doing work during class time :dodge:

[Rashika]

Bloody brilliant. I especially enjoyed the worlds fastest indian story. They tell me there making that into a movie now.. well done!
Its people like Munroe that typify New Zealanders, you know the number 8 wire part of us. I wonder if his spirit slipped away in 1977 and found a new soul to occupy in Christchurch... namely Mr Britten. I wonder who will have that gift next?


The movie will be here within the next 2 months apparently.
Its funny what you find out when doing research for stuff like this.
Dangerous put me onto that one...and then I spoke to my mum about it and she happened to mention that she really wants to see the movie as my great grandfather used to be good friends with Munroe in Invergiggle, both being into bikes when it really was not the done thing :Punk:

Everyone says i have alot of his qualities, but he died when I was 9 so i didn't get to know him well, he still sticks in my memory tho. So I guess i must come from good stock :ride:

[scumdog]

Your mag is a cracker, looks professional, well done!!

BTW I hope your Bert Munroe qualities don't include grey hair, lot of wrinkles and a scratchy voice!! :motu:

I think she meant she had her great-grandfather's qualities - grey hair, wrinkles, bushy beard and a hairy back... :devil2:

[Rashika]

HA :motu:
nah a few different ones from those (okay so maybe a little grey hair, but he had none!)
...and i aint telling what the rest are ;)

[Bren_chch]

:clap:

[Storm]

Well done that lass, a cracking read all the way through. Cant see why you wont clean up with the tutors :2thumbsup:

[Skunk Control]

Very cool, well done :Punk:

[Big Dave]

[KiwiPhoenix]

Way to go!! Thats fantastic, any chance you'll continue doing it??? I would definitely be keen to read more!

Really good job.. lay and content were great and does make one wonder if there were enough interested parties on here to actually get a monthly Kiwibiker in colour PDF format circulating.

Good job.

[Tank]

You have done a great job there - congratulations. You should feel justafiabily proud.

[Ronin]

Awsome, great article.

ahhh I wish, but no it was just for my diploma course. Magazine work would suit me well but i cant see it happening any time soon.
Did really enjoy putting it together though!
