NastyVandal Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 All types of feedback are welcome! I've been a writer since my 16s.. I used to buy a lot of graff magazines in my childhood, but they don''t exist anymore. So, I started my own! Im really happy and excited! The next step is printing it! Please, share all kinds of feedback and suggestions https://www.nastyvandal.com/product/magazine 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Man, from what I can see definitely looks promising. That said you should post up a .pdf for us here so we can really offer input. I am not going to put payment info up because some random screen-name says they made a mag… The flicks I can see look great, good choices - quality writers from what I can see. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 looks like it could be good. got me psyched to do another one. Was looking at the test print of issue 7 of my mag the other night and I did a great mag if I say so myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I think its dope man, well done. That Motick story about the train is hella crazy. Props man - I think it will take some thinking to get the subscriptions going but with IG and using the writers you feature (having them promote on IG etc) I am sure it will work if you grind. I have never in my 25+ years around the culture heard the term “Fame Piece” - that maybe a Euro thing idk. Dope image quality, good writers. Well done.

NastyVandal Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Really man? How do you call it? Here in Portugal/Spain, we use to call it like that a lot.. Hall of Fame / Fame pieces.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall of Fame / Fame pieces.. We have a spot called “Walls of Fame” in the city I am from - but mostly we just refer to them pieces. Sometimes there are slang terms like burners etc….. If multiple artists collaborate we call it a production sometimes….. Really the terminology isn’t very important I guess, I just had not heard the term you use before. But even for your native language being Portuguese or Spanish - the English is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) The design is so nice. The interview is fantastic and overall it looks good. But I think if you're going to sell the magazine you'll need more than 40 photos. Design wise less is more but content wise more is more. I think there needs to be a bit of work on sourcing content besides getting it from instagram. What is your goal with the mag besides "I want to make a magazine"?? is it "I want to make a mag showcasing the best in Portugese graffiti" or what? Write that down then look and decide whether you've achieved that goal. I hope that's been constructive criticism - I would love to see more because you make a dope looking product.

fat ralphy Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 @Schnitzel I thought along the same lines that more photos could be better - he is selling for like 4-5$ which isn’t much……but with so much free content I would think more pictures and high resolution images would help. @NastyVandal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 @Schnitzel any of your mags online or still available? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The mag looks good. Im tired so I didn’t read the interview. But I did like the quality of the images you posted. There is just a lot of dead space on the pages. You are missing an opportunity to cram those margins with lewd doodles, pictures of roadkill, or the homies posing in a b-boy stance. I was thinking that with all the free graffiti on the internet that mags were dead, but the cool thing is, anybody can upload their shitty graffiti to Instagram but not just anybody will be featured in a mag! Good luck to you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NastyVandal Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Exactly! I really miss graff magazines.. Nowadays the really "serious" and consistent one is the Graffiti Art Magazine, but that mag is more about street art than graff lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
