EMG-Zine article ideas for July...

[ellenmillion]

Our theme for July is computers!!

I would like reviews of computers that you've owned, or computer-selling companies that you've dealt with. Has a company given you the Best Service ever, or did they treat you like trash? Our readers want to know! Perhaps a review of the lightest, bestest laptop, or of something unusual, like an ergonomical split-keyboard.

Some article ideas:

~Speculative discussion on where computers will go in the future
~History of computers, perhaps with the angle of how quickly science fiction looks dated due to the advances in technology
~How to write 'timeless' sci fi due to problems above... some of it weathers terribly dated material, some of it really doesn't...
~Anything technical on images and image files
~Tutorials and tips for digital art or graphics! (I was thinking of writing a tutorial about actions in Photoshop...)
~How to build a simple website, or get started with hosting one, etc.
~CSS basics
~Shopping carts or services - could be short reviews, or an article comparing a range of the ones available
~Innovative computer add-ons that overcome disabilities - like reading software and such.

And of course, we're looking for fantasy and sci fi artwork and fiction in this theme, as well!

I'd love to see an actions tutorial in Photoshop personally. My text book didn't explain it clearly in my course this year, so it's something I've kind of ignored

I could write that6 tutorial on compositing, if I can get out from under the mountains of wedding pictures to edit at work; when would you need it by?

ACK! I thought I'd answered this. Yes, yes, I'd love that. The deadline would be June 1, but there's some flexibility as it would be best for the July issue. :)

Er, ignore the last comment - deleting it. Mixed you up with someone else because I am a slave to the alphabet and you both start with J.
