BTW the layout is actually nice.. The content and the vehicles used just took away from what could've been a bad ass spread.

@Drake- Glad you like it man, thanks again.

@Osnap- :cry:

@Mr. Clean- PM sent

@LS2_Kid- I'm no writer man, but I appreciate it. I'm trying my hand at some of this writing and I really wanted to show off what I could do as far as a layout.

@EJ_Allmota- Thanks man, I know you can appreciate the layout and that's what I was going for.

@WTF?-Thanks man

@YokotaS13-Man, I'm not saying that this is a feature-able car for a magazine, I am just trying to display some of my ability with this type of work through photography, graphic design, layout and write-up.

@Julio- I didn't do any research for this write-up. While this display is not meant for a magazine, I don't mean it to be a joke or to mock magazines. I am trying to explore my own aptitude in this line of work. Now if you see this as a childish execution or poorly done then you are the person whom I am most interested to hear from. I would appreciate if you could give me some strong, useful critisim. I'm no professional yet, but potentially with your critique and others I can move that direction. If it is solely the content, then you may disregard the previous, however I would still like to hear any critique that you may have.

@ChuckNorris- That was my understanding, but as I stated before, I did not research for this writeup.

@Fast-Tech- Thank you. I'm in no sense a writer, but hopefully I can improve!

@redGT- thanks bruh

@Echonova- thanks man, hopefully I will get some better content.

@puregroove- Thanks bro!

ok honest c&c

layout isnt the worse but it could be a whole lot tighter. Title treatment and typography needs a lot of help. If you are serious about pursuing design and print I highly advise some classes. Type makes or breaks a layout.

The write up needs help. There is a lot of grammatical errors as well as problems with the "flow" of it. It kinda jumps around.

The images are the best part. Good clean shots technically. Although the cropping could use a bit of tweaking. I cant knock you for the content. Im glad you used your own pics for this. Just a good habit to get into.

Keep at it.

I really appreciate the honesty.

I can't say i'm surprised by any of your comments. First off I have never been a good writer, but I am slowly trying to improve there.

The layout, however I like, but I agree maybe its design is too simple? Or at least you describe that its not as tight as it could be, you mean it could have more detail?

The images, I hope I have that bit down although I didn't think about doing this when I was photographing, so I would have taken more detail shots had I known.
Thanks for the detailed critique, I'm going to get some more opinions from Drift Mechanics.

I actually like the layout.

I think it would look cool if :

You can try to find a Nice Looking "stock" 240.. I know It may be hard, but there has to be a decent stock looking 240 out there.
And Find a heavy Nicely Modified one..

Then take it from there..
Content.. Who cares.. Most people read very little these days.. Just make it interesting.

I only know of one 240 that isn't a piece of shit. The are not nice cars and they are slow as hell stock. The only thing they have going for them is that they are RWD. I'm not bashing your page, it looks good, I'm bashing 240's.

great layout, not too fond of the content and the 240s. the article talks 240s up like theyre some great car, but are only mediocre at best. i guess that since that was the point though, good job! :goodjob:

i think the layout itself could be a little more interesting. one mag i know of that almost ALWAYS has great layouts is 0-60. i think with a little more effort and some creative ideas it could look great.

the writing is decent, but could have been ALOT better if it was about a more interesting subject. 240s are really just not great cars. in stock form, they are horrible actually. the seating position sucks unless you have LOOOONG arms and legs, they have 0 power, and handle like assholes. even modded, they arent competitive in anything but drifting, where ANYTHING from a 1000hp vette or a 200hp e30 can be competitive. a more interesting car (or any subject for that matter) would be more conducive to support a better write.

i think you should do another. take a little more time on the details of the layout itself, and write about a moer interesting subject. a broader subject would help alot too. like instead of writing about 240s and mentioning drifting, write about drifting and mention 240s. and add some specific details into whatever you write, theres alot of people out there like me who actually take the time to READ the magazines, and every time i do i walk away happy as long as i learned something new.

i hope you take this as nothing but CC and not any personal attacks.

feel free to PM me if you want to talk further.

I liked it. I kno the owners of all the cars too. lol

I like the layout, I can agree about the text being jumpy, and slightly scattered but still good. It kept me happy. And i like 240s so that might be why...

Drake
12-22-2008, 11:22 PM
ok look mother fuckers, dont hate bc thats all i can afford right now.
at least im not making payments, i totally ripped that exhaust off my old civic.
ghey i know, and if you hate then fuck you, im doing what i can, im broke and i cant get a job because of my personal record. which doesnt mean im bustung ass to get one. hate if you want at least mommy and daddy didnt pay for it, its the best i can do as of right now.

in the end, this is all i can afford. so fuck you if you dont approve. mods, kick me off if you please, ive been trying to do my share on here, but to some people poor people like me arent good enough to have a caf and be proud of what they have for once.

who cares what you drive!

its how you fucking drive it man.

so in the end, FUCK YOU, im done.

in the end, if you work hard, good things will come.
most people will understand what its like to be broke and do with what they have.

im not mad, i just wanted to rant.

F*CK you if you dont approve man.

Very nice layout man! Glad I finally got to see the real deal. Been so busy lately with the holidays, family coming over from over seas to stay permanently, mom going out of the country, starting a new job, blah blah blah! But, I can't wait to get some solid work put into our project!

i think a lot of people are missing the point. to me it looks like he was focusing more on the spread itself. everyone bashing on the 240's, i think that was the last thing he was worried about. just my :2cents:

The spread is excellent. I disagree with what you wrote etc etc lol but I realize that SOMETHING had to go there. It could have been about hot wheels if it would have allowed you to write.

And some of the replies in this thread regarding cars...wow. You guys will be going far in life, I can tell.

There is nothing gay about 240 as a car. Its just too bad most of them are riced out and gay looking.
They're CHEAP and fun cars.

Nice work with the doc.
