SEGAZINE

Another update

Hey everyone, 

sorry for going off the radar again! Since we’re getting more questions about the availability of the Zine these days, here’s a little update: we are currently hard at work at getting the Zine available to everyone for purchase! Which means we’re talking with some great people who want to help out with this and provide a place to buy the Zine from. 

We’re sorry this is taking so long, but we’re all very busy with other things as well, and Sega Zine is something we are doing in our free time when we have it. So please bear with us! It’s almost here! 

It’s happening.

60 copies for GDC next week. I know some of the artists are going, hit me (Paul) up and I’ll hand you your copy there! 

Status update

Hey everyone!

Since we got a question about it in our mailbox, here’s a quick update on the zine: 

We’re almost done putting together the final PDF for print. The layout is done and overall we’re finished, but we had to wait for some updated versions of artwork. 

Apologies for this taking so long. We’re all working on this in our free time, and it’s been busy times for pretty much the whole team. Thanks for your patience, everyone! We’re almost done :) 

Submissions have been selected!

Hey everyone, 

just a small update regarding the submissions for the actual Zine. 

We’ve mailed everyone who has been selected to be in the Zine. 

Sorry to everyone who didn’t make it in. We had to make some very tough calls, since we got so much awesome stuff from you guys! The Zine is going to be a whopping 60 pages already, and that is with us cutting a bunch of our personal favourites. 

We will start posting every single entry we got to our tumblr soon, so even if you didn’t make it into the Zine, we’re still going to put you in the spotlight! 

Happy holidays to everyone, and see you in 2013! 

Update

Hey everyone, 

Sorry for the radio silence! We’re all very busy, but rest assured, we’ve seen all your fantastic entries! We can’t thank you guys enough for the amazing response to this. It’s definitely going to be something beautiful once it’s all put together. 

For now, please bear with us a little longer while we put it together and figure out printing costs. As soon as we have that done, the Zine will be available for preorder. 

Again, thanks so much for all your submissions! We’ll have more news on this thing soon!

Need some help deciding what subject to cover for SEGAZINE? No problem! Here are a few helpful lists and guidelines!

SEGAZINE is a black & white zine about the SEGAverse, curated by Ashley Davis, Corey Lewis, Ted Martens and Paul Veer. It’s about characters and games from a magical time when SEGA still stood for hip and fresh games. A kind of attitude sorely missing in today’s games industry.

Celebrate these times with us! Show us what the SEGAverse means to you. Has it inspired you in any way? Changed you as a person? Do you have any good stories related to SEGA to tell us? Or do you just like drawing SEGA things? It’s all good! We’d love to see it!

Submissions are open until November 30th (2012), so get to it! We will be accepting anything as long as it can exist on paper. That means drawings, 3D renders, photos, written stories, comics, poetry. Anything you can think of.

Though we are taking all submissions, we won’t be able to put them all into the zine. We will choose a specific number of entries to go into the actual phsyical zine. This number depends on how many submissions we get. After we print the zine, the remaining entries will be posted daily on this tumblr page (artist name, site and twitter included), so everyone will get a chance to be seen!

If you’re looking to submit something, here are the rules:

• You can pick any game, series or console from SEGA’s legacy, as long as SEGA has developed said game or it is very closely related to a SEGA console (like Gunstar Heroes, for example). Crossovers of franchises are totally allowed!

• The zine will be black and white printed, so make your submission black and white print friendly!

• Images have to be 12x12 centimeter at 300dpi. If you want to do a spread, you are allowed to use 12x24 centimeter. In both cases, add a 3mm bleed to the edges of your image.

• For comic submissions, you will be allowed a maximum of four 12x12 centimeter images.

• Let’s keep it clean, people. Some violence is okay (as SEGA’s games were kind of edgy and in your face), but let’s not go overboard. No excessive blood or gore, and nothing suggestive, please.

• Please take your submissions serious. We love stuff like Dumb Running Sonic, but this is not the place for that. We want to see some proper SEGA love!

• Submission does not guarantee inclusion. We will pick the best submissions for the physical zine. The rest will be posted on this tumblr page.

You can e-mail your submissions to segazine@gmail.com. Please include your name, the name of your piece and any other information you want us to display with your entry on the site (twitter or website url, for example).

Please send us download links instead of attachments, as files at 300dpi can get quite huge.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at segazine@gmail.com
