Help wanted with a Retro Magazine

[boyo]

A number of years ago, I launched a retro based magazine in the UK called Retro Fusion. I managed to get it released in to the Gamestation chain of stores and it was quite successful.

There were 3 issues in total (0,1 and 2). My 3rd child was born 2006 and life became far too busy to carry it on.

My son is now 6 which gives me a lot more spare time.

I want to go back to Retro Fusion and finish what I started i.e. make a retro magazine that covers primarily gaming but also covers everything else like TV, movies, toys, sweets, adverts etc and make it successful.

I have a flat plan for issue 3 - it is 104 pages in length and I would very much like to get it printed and out there. There is also the online publishing model to consider.

I am looking for a specialist or 2 in Photoshop and In Design to help with the graphics and layout in the magazine. We came up with a great design template in issue 2 that I would like to continue to follow (the original person we used and long gone) - we have these in PDF at the moment, the original assets being lost as a laptop was stolon.

I very much would like to get Issue 3 out there but would be asking for volunteers to help - and hopefully for the next issue it could be paid work.

If you are interested in joining me on this journey, then do please get in touch via PM.

Thanks.

It sounds like an interesting project boyo. Would you share some of the images -- cover, story, the template idea you mentioned, etc. -- so our members have a better concept of what you need. Thanks.

Here is the cover :

And here is an example of one of the features:

If you want to see example PDF's of issue 2 then please PM me, I would rather send them that way than make them public to everyone if that is OK.
