Damn, I like it already. I love the tabs layout. I also like the fact that it's all very clean, stylish and easy on the eyes without trying too hard to be designy or overly dynamic. I wouldn't change a thing except like adding one more category as a blue header button. Like "Notes from the Dam" could be a blue tile. But since you went with a really direct one word title for each tile (which I agree with), the blue tile should just say Dam.

I love it. Excellent work. I'm really glad you have a sensible design outlook geared towards user friendliness. I was afraid you would make something crazy looking. The motif says, "This is a fun, easy, friendly place... Come often." But the clean angles, edges, fades, and fonts say it's also a classy place. It's perfect. Note: did you know that supermarkets have all these visual cues and color and lighting techniques they use to try to make the shopper feel comfortable and come back? It's exactly like that. It looks like a soothing website.

I love the way it looks, too. But I have one critique that you can either take or leave (same disclaimer for all my opinions). It almost looks "too classy" for some of the subject matter in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Jin, your lady photos are VERY classy looking, so that part fits the look and feel well, but otherwise it looks a little clinical, like the web site for a hospital or something. For pot and games I would personally prefer an edgier look and feel.

Anyways, the beauty of CSS is that you can get a web site up and running functionally and later go back and drastically change the look and feel without changing content or structure too much, so you and Slivers should be able to change the overall look later if you decide to.

For a web site about pot, I would envision something that looks a little more counterculture. When I was a kid, counterculture was Frank Zappa, the National Lampoon, Mad Magazine, Rolling Stone, Fritz the Cat cartoons, etc. (Shows how old I am.) A little bit messy and earthy would let the viewer know right away what the content is about and would make a stoner like me feel right at home, like a comfy old couch.

On the other hand, I really love that first Feminized Culture "advertisement" that you whipped up, Jin. That does look very classy, which I like a lot in nudie pics.

About the name, Feminized Culture, it does sound a bit to me like it's either about feminism or gay men or pussy-whipped men. Not too bad... I'm just not sure that I want to tell people that I read Feminized Culture. Hmmmmm...

Jin, have you thought of starting a new thread for suggestions on this so that we don't clutter up your grow journal?

Slivers, UITSTEKEND WERK JONGEN!!!! I know my wife would approve, very smooth.

Jin, love the new avatar!!!!

Thanks. The fact that Slivers has become involved pretty much makes the difference between the zine happening and not. I have no clue what he did to make that very nice mock sample. I like the design. Let's do it. Now I can concentrate on content.

Thanks for the input, Dave.

Your suggestions have weight with me, and it's BECAUSE you're an older person with life experience. Zappa, Crumb, Mad Magazine...I totally get you. I'm not that young, either.

Slivers' rough draft is stylish and fits right in with today's "visually soothing" design philosophy, but yeah, edgey and countercultrual is not where that look is going. I think Slivers here will get what you're saying just as much as I do. It's just a first mock draft after all...

I think now that Slivers knows the title and has seen a couple of design pieces, he'll come up with something great. I also created a rough draft of the magazine logo, so there's that too. I think I sort of like the green monochromatic "Matrix" look. I shudder to think what he can do with that.

Yeah, maybe I should start a separate thread... But I don't mind having it all crammed in here. I'm gonna make this thing, and whether it takes off or I fall flat on my face, I want the history of its creation recorded here for all time. Lol.

But man it could be. Just found this as I was randomly surfing the web. This is totally his twin in every way. I don't think I could tell them apart.

How about the name "Sensimillion Magazine"? A play on Sensimilla and millions--not really sure if that's what we're looking for but I figured since we're brainstorming...

I have to agree that FemCult in itself sounds a little odd. Or feminized culture. I can see where you were going with that, though. I've also been thinking of ways to make "Deep Water Culture" applicable in a way that would be memorable and distinctive. "Deep Street Culture?" or just "DWC"?

Or we could go completely unconventional and call it something stupid like "Stonerd Magazine." Get it? Lol. I think it's pretty clever.

I'm going with FemCult because I want to incorporate the hot girl presence in the name as well using the word 'culture,' which applies to marijuana growing as well as our societal interactions with each other. It's also a play on words that can be taken as alluding to my point that feminine sexuality is the driving force of our society and civilization as a whole... But the word feminized is a specialty term associated with marijuana growing... and so the perceived meaning of the title can go round and round in someone's head.

I originally wanted to call it just "Feminized," but that was already taken... Besides, simply adding the word "Culture" gives it so much more meaning.

I don't want to bring a proposal called "Stonerd Magazine" to a prospective investor.

Hey Jin, or Slivers, with regards to the back end of the site. I don't think it will be too hard, I guess it depends on how functional you want it to be for the user. I have another website that I use for my grown up company, lol, and we use Joomla as our CMS for the back end. Once you have that it's then pretty easy to add articles, change content, etc,. Perhaps looking into something Open Source like that would be worthwhile. Peace, DST

Slivers will know whats what. Basically you have software that you can run on your website, when you buy a website it often comes with a hosting package. the hosting package will then give you space for content, software, emails, database etc. You can then obtain software to run your website. so as a non technical person you want to be able to log into the software and control the website, by changing articles, uploading new pics, without having to understand programming and web site development. So you can obtain a programme from a company, (who will limit your ability to get access to the code the runs that proramme) and will also charge you to buy it, and to support it. Open source is a community effectively that has developed programmes with code that is Open to developers to improve, change, add onto, and as such the programmes functionality increase, the software becomes better, and all without large corporations charging ou for it.

A CMS is a Content Management System, such as Joomla, and simply manages the content of your website.

Do I really have to tell you that Bridges is one of my all tame faves?

This is clearly the work that sent him into Godhood in my estimation.

A John Carpenter classic. One of the most thoughtful, human alien invasion movies ever made. Check it out if you haven't seen it.


As a big fan, I just had to see this. A little disappointing, but Jeff demonstrates that he is an accomplished singer / guitar player in this film.


As a HUGE Coen brothers fan, a HUGE Matt Damon fan, and of course a HUGE Bridges fan, and also a HUGE fan of classis Hollywood film legends, I found this to be very disappointing. But I watched it and enjoyed moments of it just the same.


A 70's flim classic with a young Clint Eastwood as a small time drifter criminal who teams with an even younger Jeff Bridges. One of the greats. It's dumb how Bridges doesn't even appear on the movie poster considering how big his part was in the film. I mean it's called "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot." There's Thunderbolt on the poster... Where the hell is Lightfoot?


I won't go too much into Tron... because, well... it's Tron.

Open Source Applications are applications whose code is open for anyone to view, and / or modify. Although you can't release a new version, you can look at other programmers work and add or modify their code to make it simpler, and allows for more people to work on a specific application. Basically you can get all the help in the world for free, and not have to pay anybody to help progress your application. As long as people show interest, it will always progress, and there will always be some kind of support system.

Hope that made sense. √

Don't give my opinions too much weight Jin, just because I'm an old geezer, or for any other reason. Just brainstorming.

I guess Hugh Heffner made nudie magazines look respectable, so maybe that's what you want to do with your pot-related magazine -- to give it a respectable look and feel? I think you could do either style really well. But like I said, you can tweak the overall look after you get it working.

Ah, but your opinions have swayed me a bit. I think I want it to look a little edgier. I think Slivers' basic layout with some greens and darker areas might be just what I'm looking for.

But yes, absolutely. I want to present this as something spit-polished and classy. I want to separate myself from a 'porn site' as much as possible. Investors don't take porn site proposals seriously.

I think that FemCult sounds better than Feminized Culture at least. The female form is a beautiful thing. You could make a graphic that looks like:

Feminized
Culture

Still sounds a little gay, but it's better than my idea of PsycheDildo!

(Just kidding.)

FemCult is short, sweet, and instantly excites curiosity. I'll be creating a lot of promotional material with the nick FemCult only... so that when the interested viewer finds himself at "Feminized Culture," there will be a slight "ahhh, now I get it" in the viewer's mind.

It's also unique sounding and has instant name recognition. Won't ever be confused with "High Times" or "Rollitup" (lol) And they have a "High Times girl competition" every now and again? Ha ha. How quaint.

These are the two ladies I've been in communication with for the possiblity of being the first "FemCult Emerald Gloddess."

For obviousl reasons, I'm having trouble deciding on who should be the first girl. Why don't y'all tell me what you think?

Lilly:


Chrissy:

Special thanks to Karl Yamashita and Manrique, of course.

Lilly has really fake looking boobs. Chrissy has a real nice ass, though. Prettier face, too, in my opinion.
