Hey radio people!
I hope everyone's summers are going good n that... I want to get the ball rolling nice and early this year and start spreading radio love to imperial in the form of an ICR fanzine and i'm looking for possible contributors!
Ideally i want to get it out in freshers week so the schedule won't be sorted but i was thinking it could include a general intro to ICR amongst other possible topics. So far ideas i've got are:
- Intro to ICR, who we are, what we do, facilities, how to get involved etc...
- Gig/festival reviews
- Sounds of summer: album reviews, top track lists
- New artist spotlights
- An alternative freshers week plan
- Schedule for special freshers radio shows
- Descriptions of shows that people are definitely running next year (an easy chance to get your show publicity)
- Cool hangouts in london (arty/foodie/music places whatever...)
- Back cover advert for beer and biscuits meet if a date is sorted
- Some cool front cover illustration ....
If anyone wants to help out with the above or has any other neat ideas i'd love to hear from you,
i'll use anything! Alone i reckon i could get a fair bit done but i want to make this as big and beautiful as possible.
Design ideas? Again let me know! At the moment i'm thinking an a5 booklet (possibly a4), black and white, mix of printed and handwritten, proper DIY styley...
The cover illustration's a biggy, i'm sure someone can doodle better than me!
Also if anyone thinks they could help with distribution e.g. get copies into halls/around campus, i need you.
So yeh, get thinking!
