DIY Culture Magazine
The DIY (Do It Yourself) Online Magazine Project.
The idea is to document, spotlight, and feature inspiring people, projects, events, experiences, and businesses, as well as provide a platform for marginalized, subversive, and fringe ideas and opinions.
A decent frequency of production would be every few days though we believe a good present aim would be 1 original piece of content per week, ideally with a few content re-posts from other sites, and text, image, video, or audio. Even if we start out with just 4 people that would be one piece a month (about 500 words).
While it would be ideal to get a dozen contributing writers as well as a number of one time writer projects, we can get started with just a few.
Each writer/producer picks a project and schedules its creation within the next month. (Maybe it could be a working draft of a post that we all edit… )
post your email, what you want to write, record, film, and if you need us to contact or guide you. We will send you a username and password. Or you can email your story to mobaction@gmail.com
Regular content:
*Artist/Visual Interview 4-6 images (Ideally with 5 minute timelapse of working) 500-1000 words
*Musician/Band/Emcee Interview with music and video links. (Maybe include some lyrics) 500-1000 words
(If we keep an eye on national and international performers coming thru we could reach out and help promote by doin a small interview)
*Independent Business Interview/Tour (New business/cool business/Indy business)
*Art Show/Party write up/review/any perspective, any critique. but try to be fair and cool about it.
*Traveler/Scene scouts (People outside the Phoenix Metro area) write ups, photoblogs of neat or interesting places
*Random Thoughts/Rants
*Local fiction
Underground Hip Hop/Snowboarding/Weed/Ecological Engineering/Fermentation/Sustainability/Oregon
Down to write about any of these topics, could write up some interviews, and potentially link up others who may be interested. Let me know!
Word. For sure. All of that sounds good.
