Let us know your thoughts.

Hard to say, is it any good or is it a self congratulatory bag of wank?

The obvious answer is lack of strategy, would help if we could get some idea what it was all about.

aovh · 19-01-2005, 09:35

Right now its research. We have a series of questions we want to ask people so we can see what reactions we get.

cheers for the reply.

dan · 19-01-2005, 09:59

This is the research? or the magazine is about research.

It's too early for this...

aovh · 19-01-2005, 10:24

its research into design magazines in general. www.aovh.com

mike_m · 19-01-2005, 11:31

Still don't have a clue what you're on about...

oli · 19-01-2005, 12:04

it all sounds a bit wanky to me, Give a few more details of what you're asking.
Show us the magazine, that way we can tell you if its shit or not.

smallbeer · 19-01-2005, 12:10

there is no spoon...I mean magazine.

aovh · 19-01-2005, 13:21

There is no magazine. We are researching into design magazines by posing a couple of questions which will enable us to see what the overall view is.

ta.

oli · 19-01-2005, 13:24

Might want to ask a few more in-depth questions, a yes or no answer is really going to help is it ?
What do you look for in a magazine ? Reviews, tutorials, contacts, theory etc etc

aovh · 19-01-2005, 13:32

We're running a few more questions which will narrow down the info we need each week on the aovh site. This current thread is an open question so there won't be a yes or no answer, The question we posted before ..."We have a pile of Design Weeks still in their cellophane, have you?" was a yes/no answer but we got a lot of interesting feedback after it was posted on other design sites.

Your question has nothing to do with design magazines so I think your research is lacking strategy.

But if it helps, selling only 50 copies of one issue wouldn't qualify for cult status imo.

aovh · 19-01-2005, 14:07

We'll have more questions related to design mags and design issues on the way once we've got enough replies out of this one.

How many issues would you publish for it to achieve cult status?
Some mags have achieved cult status through publishing a limited number of copies and some just one-offs. Theres even a mag out there which is in standard magazine format but its just a slab of wood?!

I think you are getting the word cult confused with the word cunt.

Stickman · 02-02-2005, 09:47

I think this whole idea is very culty.

Oops, I'm doing it now.
