I dunno if this has been done before, but I wanna give it a go, and see how far it can go grin2.gif So yeah, a magazine. We've all seen them, got them, know what we like in them.

So I ask you, if I put page designs up here, will you give me ideas to make them better? You dont even have to be a GT fan, just think of it as an Import Tuner magazine or something. So yeah, opinions please.

Yeah, Issue #1 is done! Hooray! wink2.gif

Okay, for people wanting their cars featured, I need these things from you.

- Full car name
- Power
- Parts list
- 3 images, 2 must be portrait size and 1 landscape
- Unique quality of the car (top speed, tuning technique, anything)
- (optional) your own article, or a paragraph from you talking about your car

Website: http://GranTurismoMagazine.piczo.com (WIP, nothing uploaded yet)

Miguel: Thanks, glad you do wink2.gif

WRX: This is really meant to be like Import Tuner where its sorta just about the cars, but I will see if I can fit in some GT5 news at the back of the mag wink2.gif

Dr1FT3R: Hehe, no problem. And your Stagea has to wait its turn tongue.gif


Well, I got some more pages up, but I wont do anymore until tomorrow I think.

Thanks for the intrest biggrin.gif

Interesting to say the least, but if your trying to make it like Import Tuner its got a long way to go wink2.gif

You could also create some "Power pages", and coverage of various events

180mph and a Grocery Getter?
We check out this ride and see if it can really get us some bread and milk....

It looks good.

One quick question - is it gonna be a real mag thats gonna be available - as in online? if so there is no real need for the barcode, and it might b possible to make it into an interactive flash magazine - compiled in flash, with the option of turning the pages back and forth, or maybe in a PDF format - if ur gonna take this that far.

It wont be a proper, publicized magazine online no. The barcode is there for the realistic look. If I had a flash program, I would consider making it turn pages wink2.gif

Well, this is a WIP of a 1st issue so if you got an article, send it my way and I'll see what happens from there wink2.gif

I'm always up for other people's cars, or adverts smile.gif

Well... you're in luck! Battalion Tuners are back and on fire with three cars under their belt...

-Expect to see a 280bhp Toyota MR2 Spyder that hit 300kmh just nicely if you speed down De la Sarthe.

-After so much groaning from Top Gear concerning that British cars should have a chance at tuning, a 600bhp Jaguar XKR is in the process.

-If you wish to have a tricky family car that loves to challenge you with its naughty nature, then have a go at the Evo V, which obviously, will get you spanked if you don't tame it. tongue.gif

Sounds interesting, I'll actually edit the first post for requirements people wanting their cars featured will need.

Oh, and the Chaser article is up.

Too bad the Chaser didn't do 180. But it can carry groceries, and still do 177!

The 900bhp R34 pace-car is going to be something, no doubt.

Swapping parts I dont think so, but comparisons on say, Stage 4 vs Stage 5 turbo's will happen, for example.

Meteor: You got that right wink2.gif

Heh, well, a Starlet may feature, its a car I have never touched in GT4, so the results will be interesting for sure. wink2.gif

Page 9 up.

Edit: Just a back cover left, and Issue #1 can be called complete wink2.gif

Gotta give the Chaser some love y'know wink2.gif

Maybe in the 3rd issue (yeah, I'm sure it'll come to a 3rd issue at this rate), I'll do a Asia vs Euro showdown. Maybe a 4WD head to head, or a supercar challenge. I'll see what happens.

Oh, and the back cover is now done. I can safely say Issue #1 is done and complete. grin2.gif

Gonna look into a freewebs or something for a website to display this thing whistling.gif
