Preview magazine made for my league

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Preview magazine made for my league

Postby HailState89 » Thu Jun 22, 2017 7:30 pm

Last year, a leaguemate and I were like "we should create a preseason magazine for our league" half jokingly. Then we started writing some stuff, and writing some more stuff, which led to this (A full 32 page preseason magazine)...

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=125216

We have now started our 2017 Preseason Magazine. We think it's going to be better in every aspect, but would like some input. Here is a preview of what it will look like -http://anyflip.com/wpco/urqd

We'll have team previews for each team, Rookie draft review, 2018 Mock Rookie Draft, GM Report Cards, and several articles on different GMs. I know some of you do articles and stuff like this for your league. What kind of content has been a hit with your league?

Thanks.

Well dang! That's more than professional looking to say the least! Seriously impressed by how slick it looks. Great job.

I will be using a lot of this, but more caustic. A lot more actually. My league likes the no holds bared approach.. Good ideas for me to borrow.

We switched from Word to publishing software and it let me do a lot more with the layout. It made a huge difference.

Great work. The improvement in format between year one and two is drastic. Wish I had more time to do one of these for my league.

Looks awesome, great work! You just have to fix Foreman's picture. I think it's got dalvins picture on it instead.

Yeah, we noticed that. Tried to as much work as could pre draft but picks 9-12 were hard to predict. Thanks for pointing that out!

I actually can't send the template this year due to using a publishing software. However, I was thinking of offering a service to those who wanted it where I send the league a word document with the length of each section for you to write about, along with any special request. When complete, you would send that back to me, and I would do all the design and fill it in the info, etc. We are thinking $50. If you would be interested, PM me and let me know. We are only doing 2-3 to start out so let me know if you're interested.
