The Doomsbury Set's publication "tiktoc" has been printed as planned on the significant date we chose: 7th November.
The writing is something, a pleasure to read. I for one, and excuse the patronising tone, feel proud to be associated with all of the writers.
More precisely thanks to:
a) those we approached and who, as a result, considered contributing,
b) those we approached, who actually contributed,
c) the man who led on editing, is responsible completely for the typographic approach and collaborated with me on graphic design and layout No. 01 (Mr. Huw Bartlett),
d) (Soon to be sacked) No. 02 (Ms. Emilia Telese) for the invention of useful terms such as Non-endorsed and Un-endorsed art,
c) Maplins (for comfort in times of stress),
b) Mail Boxes (for incredibly fast, efficient, quality work),
a) Halifax PLC (for fooling us into thinking we matter).
Note: Where design appears poor (or the layout shite) be aware that, unlike the plethora of other examples around town (Brighton, UK), here it is done deliberately, but NOT in an ironic or witty way either. Partly we hope to provide material for budding students of graphics design, on what not to do. On the other hand by chance you will notice instances of quality, edited text, correct application of colour theory principles, composition schemes, the golden mean, paragraphs packed full of correctly spelt words and utilising the notion of grammar, employment of typography rules and so on...
Watch this space for developments.
We are still awaiting the outcome of a funding application. No: frank admission: We are still working on completing a funding application form. Donations welcome. Purchase a few at: http://www.lulu.com/content/4808807
Publishing of the next edition will take place on another key date probably 30th January. To propose a contribution e-mail doomsbury@mocksim.co.uk
We've applied for an ISSN.
