SurfClub Guides E-Zine! #2 - GFX! - Out Now!

[Bede]

that might conflict with mine, since i also have a pixel art tutorial in my zine ^^"

Yeah, I saw! Yours is about making original pixel art from scratch, which is mostly useful for already-existent artists, and mine is about making pixel art from an image found elsewhere, which can be used by people who aren't artists. So it's got some overlap, but different people can find either of them useful, I think.

cool background, and i like the tone, but it seems a bit short?

true, but i'm really not sure what else i could add - i've never been great at writing long pieces of text :{ any suggestions are appreciated, i'll make sure to credit any ideas i get within the article :3

maybe you could talk about how it's good for accessibility or helps with non-critical images? or how somehow safari doesn't support it still

ooh, i didn't find any of those in my research! looks like i still need to dig a little deeper on the subject, thank you! :D

question! melon, is there an upper size limit or file count or anything like that? i've got a lot of images and fonts going on (organized into subfolders; hopefully subfolders are okay?) and i want to make sure i don't go too too overboard.

[Melooon]

@xixxii there is no size limit! It’s helpful if you can scale and compress your media so it loads fast; if it’s too slow I might have to compress it, but otherwise please do add lots! 

[Lucera]

I would like to make an article talking about SVG! :^D

EDIT: I made a quick draft in a pdf file with notion, what do you guys think? I still have lots to do but I think this is a good start:

Haloooo! Iv received some wonderful guides from people so far! However there have not yet been enough submissions to complete a zine ~ plus I'm just back from a long trip and I'd like a few days to recover. So I think it might be a good idea to extend the deadline to the 14th.

That gives anyone who would like to put together a guide now over a week to get it done!

I hope everyone is ok with that plan and is busy writing guides

how many submissions do you need to make a full zine? I would like to make more than one submission if possible, maybe.

[Melooon]

how many submissions do you need to make a full zine?

For it to be an interesting grouping for people to explore, I'd like to see 8-10, currently we have 4 (excluding me doing one!) ~ soooo we are a little behind unless a bunch of people were planning to submit at the last minute! (very possible ~ but maybe let me know if this is ur plan)

I think if you wanna do two that's fine, but don't overwork yourself, its better to make one really great one than two ok ones!

At any rate its not a biggie, It'll be what it is, but it'd be fun to have a good big diverse selection of guides, and the ones Iv received so far all look really cool

[xixxii]

i'm still workin'! nearly done!! i appreciate the extended deadline though, gives me a little more breathing room ~ it's been slowgoing the last few days due to a freak allergy attack, i was worried i wouldn't be able to polish it up in time but now i know i will be able to finish!

i should be done before the new deadline!   oh and  @zawieja is contributing a history section to the entry! it's a collab !

hopefully the extended deadline will let some other folks finish theirs up too! either way i'm looking forward to the zine 

also welcome back from vacay, melon, i hope it was a good time!

[Melooon]

   Final call for e-zine submissions!! 

I will aim to have the e-zine ready when the forum opens tomorrow! If you are making a late submission in the next few hours be sure to get it in asap so its included in time!

[xixxii]

just zipped up and submitted me and @zawieja 's entry!! wahhhh the internet archive didn't come back up in time for finishing touches... oh well........................ super excited to see everybody's entries!!

[Melooon]

The E-Zine is out now!!! https://melonland.net/zine/issue-2/

Let me know if anything is horribly wrong or I missed any submissions!!!  Im soooooo impressed by the submissions this time, everyone did such great stuff!!

Also if you didnt manage to get a submission in, don't worry; life happens, I didnt manage to get an entry in this time too, but there's always next time!

[xixxii]

gyagh it looks like i somehow deleted one of the images (attached) and forgot a couple other things OTL OTL OTL

if you could slide the attached image into the images folder and add this to classyver.css:

Code

h4 {text-align:center;
font-size:25pt;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
height:120px;
padding-top:40px;
color:white;}

and (also in classyver.css) change

Code

@font-face {
    font-family: Agate;
    src: url('fonts/AGATE.WOFF');
}

to

Code

@font-face {
    font-family: Agate;
    src: url('fonts/AGATE.woff');
}

(the allcaps .WOFF i think is breaking the header font)

that would be great........... ;______;  so many small mistaaaakes i'm sorry!!!!!!! there's probably more that i'll find if i keep looking at it lmfao. what a mess. even though i looked it over so many times.......

MY MISTAKES ASIDE i'm super excited to dig into everybody's entries!!! i've been really looking forward to this!!
