Creative Minds Wanted

 

Creative Lane Zine is seeking contributors! Since our first issue is now being kept at the State Library, we would like to start our second issue and keep the creative lane zine going!

We are looking for creative people who are interested in craft, illustration, designs, films, photography, writing, interview with local artists, home decoration, reporting local cafe or shops, etc etc.Content and pages are not limited but should be children friendly and not offensive.

Send me a copy of your work in A4 pdf or photoshop format with a brief description of yourself (where you base, email? website? etc) and we'll be in touch!

Unfortunately we cannot afford to pay all the contributors at the moment, but all your hard work will be noted and thank at the first page and your own page. We are hoping to make it a paid job as soon as we get any funding!!

Creative Lane Application is now open!

Creative Lane Zine is ready!!

Open publication - Free publishing - More art


 The magazine is finally done! The amount of time that I spent to organize the files are actually more than I spent to make the magazines. Anyway, now I know my MAC can organize PDF into one file easily and it can also reduce the size of the PDF file from 300MB to 5MB ! How can it do that? I have no idea but a bit of google tutorial did save my life!

Creative Lane Artist: the ena and albert

We are so excited to have Therese Lyons from the Ena and Albert at the coming Creative Lane market! Therese came from a crafty family and she appreciate the beauty of handmade. Her products are all handmade with lots of love. The wonderful colours just fill your hearts up with lots of joy! You can also follow her wonderful crafty journey at her blog.

Creative Lane Online Magazine

Creative Lane would like to  invited all the creative people in Australia to participate in our online magazine. You are welcome to share their DIY tips, illustration, local cafe, cooking, shops,  photography, home decoration, etc, anything that makes it resourceful and interesting to read. But the whole idea of this magazine is to share the fun of being creative and local designs.

You're welcome to contribute as many pages as you wish, I will let you know if I am going to use them all in one issue or put them in different issues. Your submission should be A4 page in PDF/ jpg/ Word/ Photoshop format. 

Unfortunately, it's an unpaid contribution at the moment as I don't earn money from Creative Lane but I am trying to get some sponsor for Creative Lane so hopefully it's gonna be a paid job in the near future.

Please email me your page(s) no later than the 7 July and we will keep in touch! I am very excited about this project!!
