What kind of things should we put in our Gaia fashion magazine?

I was thinking having an explanation for the crazy-weird gold inflation would be nice. But is that related to fashion? XD Or is that economical? I could argue that the economics of Gaia impact user's fashion abilities.

Now I'm overthinking.. sweatdrop

hmm. i think the economics thing is probably a detail that should be introduced later when the basics have been established tbh.

i think we should establish what sort of columns and layouts should be present with each part of the magazine. and goals for each person to accomplish within their own roles for each update.

Good idea. C:

You were interested in a sort of fashion editor role, right?

Let's work on what we could put in this section.

Hot or Nots are pretty common for fashion magazines.
One person suggested that we have featured Gaia items that are trending.
A simple, short quiz would be fun too. X3
oh and one way to promote the magazine would be to host a tektek avatar dress up contest of some sort.

What do you think?

ooo those sound like good ideas!

a featured gaian could be fun too. like, i was thinking about fishing for trendy avatars and interviewing the owner on what inspired them to create it and such.

maybe a column about common trends per area of gaia. for example, the common fashian style in rally vs virtual hollywood vs chatterbox?

ooooh I really like the idea of interviewing. That'd be fun.
Wonderful ideas :3

Okay. So for the magazine itself should we have it created in photoshop or an art program of some sort and then upload it to an image hosting site?
Or would it be more user-friendly for us to make a thread-version of the magazine that links to images and such?

i think we should totally create a large thread for each magazine issue. first post: cover, second post: table of contents + links to previous issues, next few posts: each editor has their own post to edit with their research content including images. and i also think the editors choose how they style and organize their own post so that there's less confusion on who photoshops what ykno?

Heya fellow Fashion-Magaziners!

Err....I kinda have an OC and she's a model and such, so I used to spend some time thinking about what these magazines would look like.

Along with Holiday themes, Maybe each edition could be new colour scheme too? Like ones rainbow, then black and white, then pastels, then we could do like Pinks and Greens, and other patterns like that and such! We could also do seasonal themes as well~

EDIT:Also maybe things like reviews on new things, Gaia related or not?

~Other Ideas~


♡Horoscopes! I love 'em, plus its a common magazine thing~
♡Every once-in-a-while, Maybe we can have an advice section, for dealing with different struggles
♡Fashion tips, or tips about how to make your own Avatars, or OC's and the basics
♡Shoutouts(well...these are a bit like the "Featured Gaians" but we can also do people who helped us out too, not just stylish people)
♡In-magazine contests would be cool!
♡Item hunts! Such as, us thinking of an item, giving a thing of clues, and people submitting to us what they think it is, and those who guess correctly win? Something like that, heh
♡Featuring fellow-Gaian Art shops/Writing Shops and such maybe
♡Other contests, like giving a theme(Art, Gaia Avis, or writing) And choosing a winner/winner(s)~

I also really love the dress up contest idea! It'd be a wonderful promotion! ( *is getting really into this idea* )

That's a really good idea too.
I think I'll designate part of this guild as the "work in progress" sort of area. I think it will be a good idea for people to have their work in an area where other people can add to it, if need be.

Then I guess once all the writing and such is done for the season then we open a test thread, copy-n-paste our work in turns and then ask a moderator to move our magazine thread to the right place. C:

This is super exciting! emotion_kirakira

I'm glad to be of Service!! :'D I did a lot of research to try to come up with those ideas XD Also, i kinda like the idea too for each issue, but I can't exactly create my own pages myself, ya know? @w@ We'll need some sort of digital artist and such to help us out....And not just one, a few might due... I like that idea though
PostPosted: Fri Aug 14, 2015 10:11 pm


Hmmm, I guess it would be awesome to see a how to save up for that cute outfit.

We could also include an 'how to build on an awesome avi'. (How to make an avi look more elaborate.)

I have a few more ideas other than just "what's hot and what's not"
I love the ideas of contests and the item hunt. Sounds pretty good and gets the reader involved.
gaia_star maybe we can cover a section on those that make close adopts. Like how did they make this creature so special and how it took off in sales.
gaia_star Along with what's hot, will it cover seasonal items from events? Like how the market floods with dark and orange items during Halloween? Then the lack of interest and appeal of free items.
gaia_star Would there also be a section like 'how to de-clutter an avi but keep the vibe"
gaia_star I also think getting special guest star models and art of their avi would be neat. Have a page interview or something.
Just some thoughts ^-^

It would be awesome if the admins and such would help us out with this idea XD That'd be so cool if they could.
