Hey everyone!  So, I recently started my career as a high school Math teacher after graduating in May, and I know that I will no longer have the time to put in to the eZine each month.  It's also part of the reason that the most recent eZine didn't come out on August 1st.  

I want to publicly thank Alex for all his hard work on the e-zine. This month's issue looked fantastic. I really hate to see you go, but totally understand. If anyone else has any questions about what the job entails please post away!

Thanks a lot Alex and good luck with your career!

Thanks for the kind words Scott!

hey guys, kinda new around here and would be interested to help out.
I don't think I have the In-Design program but, would be interested in trying it out.
I've mostly been working with photoshop and I do have PS CS5.

I'd like to know what are the main differences between photoshop and indesign are? (when you are doing the cover)
if it would be possible to actually use PS too?

and if anything I'd like to take a crack at it to help, always like any art related project.

as for stuff I have done, I do have a deviantart page here:

(mixed stuff there photos,drawings,etc...)


PS* yup the last cover you did man, rocks

I have indesign but ive never used the program. I'd love to help out so I'll offer to bullshit with it and see if I can come up with something cool. I sit on this site too much so I need a distraction anyways . Are there any limitations in regards to using certain copyright images?

Alex, your art was GREAT and will be missed. But just like NA, it is time to evolve and am glad you are still going to be around, even if you are not doing the zine.
Great job...you set a standard that is going to be hard to exceed!

Yeah you did an excellent job Alex. It was great working with you on the last few.

Good luck with your career dude!

I'm very proficient in InDesign Illustrator and Photoshop and would love to help out. I've been kinda "design stagnant" since graduating college (for design) and I really would like a project that gets me back in to it.
I PM'd alex with some info.

Thank you for all the work you've done on the Webzine. I really wish I could help, but my layout knowledge is rather outdated (I learned PageMaker from Adobe, a program thats no longer being manufactured). Plus, my own website is eating a lot of my spare time. More than willing to do some writing for it though if the need arises.

Just wanted to say thanks for your great work and don't be a stranger.

I would offer to help myself, but I know I won't have the time for it.

Wow I had no idea you had been doing it for so long, time flies! I'll echo the comments of excellent job done, and well wishes with your new job.

This change is bittersweet! best wishes on your career, your work is FANTASTIC!
And much luck to the new guy taking this on!

The latest two covers were made in Photoshop by MrClutch, but the covers I made before I just put photos from the articles on the cover in InDesign.  
Well if there were, we could never have a picture of Mario or the countless other copyrighted images we've had in the 'Zine
Replied to your PM!

Your contribution will be missed. You did a great job.

Oh man... I wish I had the time to do this... but with designing Fraggs Magazine already, I'm a little overwhelmed! Good luck to whoever takes the position <3

Tell me about it. I'm sort of in the same position as nechestriah. Went to school for journalism, though. There was lots of focus on layout and I haven't done jack with it since 2007. But I know I have next to no time to spend making something non-shitty! So I'm glad to see interest here

Congrats on the job! Also, thanks for all the hard work on the ezine. I want to help out where I can. I'm good with photoshop (I did the 2nd page cover for the Return of Ezine issue). I'll be glad to try some layout/cover stuff, but I admit not having enough time to do a good job on a regular basis may be my issue. I'm sure someone in the community will come through and do a great job though.

Also, if we open cover art to the community again, I'll be glad to give my best submission.

Gee, thanks.

Great job, Alex.  You did excellent work.  Sorry you have to go.  I definitely know how much time it takes to put out the eZine every month, though.

PM'd

Good job Alex, I appreciate all the hard work!
~~NGD

First of all, thanks to all of the kind comments I received since my last reply.  It's great to know that my work was appreciated  But, for my main announcement:

Thanks Alex - I'm really looking forward to it. I'm gonna do my best to make the eZine better than ever hopefully! You've done a great job on it, so I know I have some big shoes to fill.

Welcome aboard!

Woo hoo! Glad to see we found someone. I don't doubt you'll do a great job Nechestriah. Good luck!

Edit:  As a side note... stop copying my awards! 

I'm in for helping, whoever is in charge. PM or email me.
