Update Entry I:
I've been thinking a lot about what the first issue of Midwest Reverie is going to contain and how I should execute it. I'm having a hard time deciding what program I should use to make it. Should I use photoshop, illustrator, indesign, etc.? Or should I use just some basic stock program on my Mac or the Art Departments Macs (advice is welcomed). I've just been over thinking this first issue.
The innards:
With this first issue I'm of course going to put my artwork in it, wether that be some of the photos I take, paintings I do, or just some of my basic pen and ink/watercolor cartoons I enjoy doing.
I'm also going to add interviews with musicians and other artists. I want to interview Full of Hell, a Blackened Hardcore band from Maryland/Central Pennsylvania, whom have had a pretty big influence on me as of lately. They've influenced my band, Ikari, and even some of the concepts to my pen and ink drawings lately. So I really want to put an interview with them in there and ask some questions about art and what not.
I'm going to feature articles about the local music scene (music releases, shows, new bands, etc.) and the local artwork (art shows, local artists and their work, words of wisdom and guidance from the art teachers, interviews with local artists) that's going on in the Peoria/Washington area.
