GraphicDesigners

Graphic Designers are in charge of making, exposing and connecting ideas. We are objective people, it means that we design with an specific purpose which is creating an image, graphic product or service that is going to be sold or exposed. This product has to be striking and it has to agree with the customer (directly). Graphic Designers are not artists who work according to the emotions they want to convey (Indirect).

This definition was made by me and my friends.

We used the next online dictionaries:

  What are SL Magazines For?

 http://primperfectblog.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/what-are-sl-magazines-for/

Prad Prithivi, the well-known designer, has recently posted a thought-provoking and provocative piece on Second Life magazines – The Devil Rezzes Prada.  Although he is talking about fashion magazine specifically, I think it’s a good idea for all Second Life magazines (and, for that matter, real life, magazines too) to look at themselves occasionally and see what they’re doing too.

When I started Prim Perfect, it was with a certain remit.  There were no Second Life furniture, homes and gardens magazines then available (for that matter, we’re still the only specialist magazine in this area).

My intention was that we should serve three distinct groups:
1) the relative newbies (as I was then), trying to furnish their own homes.  We should make clear the range of designers and styles available, and show what could be done with a range of primmages and sizes.  We would also supply tips and tricks to help.
2) those people who wanted to be self-indulgent and, heedless of the cost or primmage, have the very best.  This, of course, can make for glorious eye-candy!
3) the designers – to give them a chance to get their work out there – through articles, through advertising and through additional features such as the regular Treasure Hunt which was designed to raise awareness and increase store traffic.

And finally, I liked the format of the next blog, because the design is very clear and simple of understand; I appeared very modern and sober. I loved the use of typography, images and design of all elements. For me this blog is an example to follow.
