Well If there are people who are willing to be spend ages on everypage, then they're more than welcome. I doubt however that there will be one person, let alone 2 who will have the time to re-do every page create a professional magasine, which as you said: "its for fun".
Yes, I know you've written concept in the top, however Speed (the Editor) and I, don't feel that all these changes are neccesary :) I think the main reason why he's not for the idea, is that you didn't ask if these concepts could be used, plus you've said "my work in progress etc", rather than saying something like "could this be used, I know alot of the previous aspect have been changed, but I feel blat blar blar"
I know that it's Concept, however I do feel that the accpects of the last magasine should be kept. And after all, if the last one got soo much praise, is there really any point in spend far more time on presenting it, when we could be having a life or playing on TDU? ;)
Plus by saying "or it will end up like last issue" means that you obviously don't think it was very good, now a lot of people put lots of effort into it, and I'm supprised by the take-up on the amount of reviews which were written.
And I think it would have been better to read all the threads on the magasine to find out what was needed (ie. release date christmas; dimensions; TDU logo etc etc)
Ramble over :)
