Thanks so much for letting me be part of this! I love this issue so much--I really enjoy the layout and the way the interviews are interspersed with the "see Windenburg" articles!

You're welcome. And thank you for letting me interview Honey!
Hey guys after yet another long period without posting I have the July issue of Simsacious Magazine this time featuring a friend's Sim Avalon Tine! My friend (Who sadly isn't a member here) was the one who wrote Avalon's story page. I hope you enjoy the read and the new sections I put in:
COVER
STORY
INTERVIEW
THE ENSEMBLE
FAN MAIL
As you can see I've added two new sections after the interview and I plan on making them a regular thing on new issues! What do you guys think of the magazine overall this month?
Great issue! I really enjoy the new question feature. And the fashion page is so great! Think you'll be putting together a fashion issue at some point?
I wonder if William Rivers will make a movie of Avalon's experiences!

Really nice work!
Thanks @CathyTea! Right now a full fashion issue isn't in the works yet since I'm still not sure how other readers feel about it but for the movie I definitely have something planned.
In yet another super-late entry here's the December issue of Simsacious Magazine with the fashion designer Joann Katt on the cover!
COVER
STORY
INTERVIEW
Please excuse typos and grammatical errors you find as I worked on this for almost 12 straight hours. lol Anyways, I learned a few new tricks in Photoshop like quicker selection of a subject from a background and warping text around images. Also I aimed for a color scheme that contrasted Avalon's which I think I accomplished with the gold, cream, brown palette this issue had.
In regards to the "extra" images that usually came with the issues I'm still deciding what to eventually do with them as I'm kinda trying to find a root cause for my slowed creative streaks - keeping the issues as focused as possible should help me push them out regularly again.
Hey, I love this issue! Joann's story is great, and once again, I really love the way you indicate an entire world, culture, and history through a cover story and interview!

Thanks @CathyTea! Also I haven't forgotten about your suggestion on the cover's color scheme. *wink* wink*
Want something new? Well not only do I have a new issue of Simsacious but it's a back issue too! So even though it would probably have a lot of typos the month is not one of them. lol Enjoy!

COVER
STORY
INTERVIEW
Yes, for the magazine's anniversary month I decided to take another revisit with an old Sim - David Ashfield. He's actually one of my all-time favorite Sims so writing his story wasn't difficult at all. And also, if the aesthetic of the new issue looks familiar it's because I heavily based it on the promotional images of John Wick Chapter 2 which is an absolutely amazing movie. The different shades of blue just matched David so well.
And as a random fun fact, this is the issue that really made me strap myself down and learn how to make custom poses. It's actually really fun.
Yes, after ONE WHOLE YEAR here's a new issue of Simsacious Magazine!
COVER
STORY
INTERVIEW
Alright so just a quick background on what happened with the magazine. It wasn't until recently that I figured this out but the reason why my interest tapered off is that I simply thought too far ahead with future issues and too ambitious with the special issues. I wore myself down and my enthusiasm disappeared when I saw the amount of work I put in front me. Anyways, I had a ton of fun getting back on the horse and making the new issue and I hope you guys would have fun reading it!

Thanks @CathyTea! I'm glad to be back - here's to hoping I can keep up the momentum. lol
Thanks @MINEZ! It's great that you noticed how I tied everything together - it's one aspect of the magazine I really like doing.
