RollItUp Magazine - seeking contributors

  • Hey..I've been a lurker here for some time and I love the content here! I was thinking that maybe we could do a RIU magazine and the articles would be threads from the forums here...this is what I have for sections so far and I'm looking for anyone wanting to contribute and possibly get this thing off the ground. Below I've attached a few mock-ups.

    News: contains any news whatsoever related to marijuana around the world, be it medical legal..whatever!

    DIY Project: this is section that would be dedicated to Do-It-Yourself where we could pick one topic from the forums every month that is a badass DIY project or tip of some sort

    Know Your Grow: this section would be sort of like a "Grow Q&A" where questions get answered. Everything from pest problems to nute deficiencies, and little grow tips from our members

    Munchies: every month there would be a cannabis infused recipe here

    Cultivation: This would be the spot where there is an article written by a forum member about cultivation, either hydro, soil, indoor, micro, organic..anything! Of course I would go around and choose content that I thought would be beneficial or content could be recommended to me from somebody!

    Contest: This part of the mag would contain the picture of the month and also any other contest ideas that the RollItUp members come up with

    Medical Strain Of The Month: Members would vote on a strain of the month and the medical benefits would be listed here along with a nice drool-worthy picture of the strain

    Grow Diary: We could pick a complete grow diary from the forums every month and showcase it in this section of the magazine, to get the experiences learned from it all incorporated into the mag

    Cool Stuff: A spot in the magazine for badass grow gear, crazy pipes or bongs, hemp clothing...anything that it really interesting could go here

    Media: Last but not least, a media section. Any bud-related books, movies, or internet resources could be listed here

    And I've attached a few pics of somethin' I whipped up in a few minutes just to give you a visual example of what I was thinking, and the quality I would be trying to bring. Let me know what you think! Oh..and my legitimate job is a graphic designer...

I posted about this in the request forum awhile back and it seemed to have support so I figured I would post it somewhere more visible :)

I very much like this idea. It's somewhat refreshing seeing something like this in the forum. I'd be glad to help with whatever you need, just send me a message.

Paper's dead. All hail electricity. Good job though man. Just 20 years too late.
LOL I assumed he meant an emag like ICmag puts out. I am not at all against it. I just wondered if he'd gotten permission from the name holder. That's all LOL! So is it an emag?

I'm just going to get the FULL, free info here at this site. I was never much of a Cliff Note kind of guy.


Besides, I didn't see any sections for me

Yes. It's going to be an emag with an option to buy in print if desired. Although I don't expect much in the way of people buying lol

Truly this is just a labor of love. I love weed and I love graphic design. This is no attempt to make money and if anything, it could bring some more notoriety to rollitup.org and maybe some new talents to the board. That's all lol

Great way to show case your graphical design talents for a resume too! Not a bad way to get known in the industry.

It would be nice to see a magazine that's centered around cultivation rather than selling over priced glass and LED lights. If RIU doesn't give you the green light, you should try to do it on your own. Maybe PM people who start interesting threads and see if they want to be in it then make a prototype and see how people like it.

That's kinda what I'm doing now. I'm just making this prototype and I'm going to see how well it's received. Right now I'm working on the DIY section and GOD HERE is going to be writing a few news articles for that section. It's progressing slowly but surely.

You might want to PM cannabineer and see if he'd write something sciencey for you :) sort of the Nature section of the mag.
