Yeah that is good!
Fair enough but if you do see a Banksy you should dimantle whatever it is on and take it home. Apparently you can then sell them on.

ay - but to be fair, Banksy would have produced a cover a damn site more iconic than the one we're currently discussingchico enrico said:yea. Heartfield and Abram Games were utter genius. best graphic artists ever IMO.

chico enrico said:ok, practical and hopefully constructive suggestions re the cover.
it does look pretty piss.
do a good logo. all mags should have a good logo.
if the photo of the guy in the afa hat is meant to be related to the article on anti-fascism, have that as the first title in the contents list, in a large font with all the other stuff smaller (like the cover of new statesman or something)
if that aint the point use another image as that photo looks staged, like something off darren's daft australian cw stickers.
if the cctv sign aint related to a story get rid of it. you're just throwing money away on the plate for another spot colour.
drop the words 'autonomous' and 'praxis' . using them is just giving folk a stick to beat you with.
have a competition or something. to win a car or a holiday or whatever. that'd get more folk buying it.
some of your points will be taken on board, its not yet to set to bed. Only thing is you will have to fork over £3.00 to find out which points we took on board.

Don't tell Attica he's rather attached to certain lefties (((E.P.Thompson))).

Part of thinking left which took radical ideas forward - beyond Red Action/IWCA now - even back then in the late 1950s and early 60's.

Or the title of the mag...
JHE
.
Congratulations, Attica! You've finally given birth to your mag, after being pregnant for a weirdly long time. I'm sure you will cherish and nourish your lovable little bundle of praxis.
It doesn't look like a mag addressed to a wide audience, though, does it? It looks more like another little in-group rag, of doubtful life expectancy.
To give it a chance, put it online. I can understand that you want people to pay for it, but you'll have a decent chance of getting a bigger and perhaps more international audience if it's on the Web.
The title is OK, I suppose, but it does make me think of the maritime distress signal. Mayday, mayday... small unseaworthy anarchist vessel sinking in Channel... mayday, mayday!

It is written at a level that is of use beyond Uk boundaries
Also raw ssalc has said the project is likely to change and mutate - so hold on, it's going to be an enjoyable ride

Yes. You could have a photo of some ruddy-faced Morris dancers capering round a Maypole

You're right, just stick a photo of a bird on the cover.

Well the MAYDAY magazine is out and proud, with more to come. Our meetings went well and you will be seeing other issues of the best magazine at the bookfair Review copies will circulate shortly for those too tight to purchase theirs
The Contents are an Open Letter to the Movement (Left and @), THe Tribe of Wombles (class composition and the Wombles), Autonomous Anti Fascism, Victory to the Wreckers - a review article of a new book on Wrecking and descriptions of theory in the wake of the Napoli episode earlier this year (the first article about this huge phenomena from within the movement AFAIK), 40 years of socialist politics - 1967-2007 by Dave Douglass, and Ian Bone on Jade Goody, racism and football and the medias role. A challenging reda and theoretically progressive, challenging most if not all the politics within the movement and developing new perspectives for our time and the future.
I mean, the Viz piss take Black Flag with a whole page Bakunin on the back is not doing it. DA was very predictable as was the obscurity of Arfheben, not to mention their ultra left nonsense about De Angelis. I did like the WSM magazine somewhat though, far better than Organise 'A Touch of Class' I haven't had a chance to look at properly, but it appears to be OK. Notes from the Bordercamp, I mean Borderland takes some reading, and I hope it will be worth it. Though I have to admit I have spent some time doing this already and you can loose yourself for some time in its pages.
