Paper Crafts

Art Journaling Exposed Weekend Blog Hop

Fact: Cloth Paper Scissors makes super cool e-mags.

Question: What is an e-mag?

Answer: It's an electronic magazine.  Electronic magazines come in many forms.  Some are .pdfs.  Some use special software.  Some are an exact replica of a paper magazine.  Today I want to talk about a new e-mag called "Art Journaling Exposed."

Question: What makes this e-mag super duper cool?

Answer: I'm so glad that you asked!  Here are just a few things that make "Art Journaling Exposed" awesomely terrific:

  • I'm in it!  :)
  • There is no paper version of this e-mag.  It is purely electronic only!
  • You can view it on your PC, Mac, or iPad.
  • There are tutorial VIDEOS embedded in the mag!  It's like having an online class downloaded to your computer.
  • It's super cute.  I know that that shouldn't be important, but it's really fun to look at with lots of color and fun borders around each video.  I find the layout and design of the e-mag inspiring!
  • There's a fast forward video doodle battle (screenshot below).  Have you ever seen someting as cool as that?

DoodleBattle

  • My favorite article is by Jane Davenport.  She shares the basics of three hot new water-soluble products: Gelatos, Inktense Blocks, and Letraset AquaMarkers.  I like her friendly attitude and the easy and casual ways in which she describes how she likes to use each of the products.  I have not been a fan of Gelatos, but she has me thinking that perhaps I need to rethink that….
  • I also really like the "Perfect Prompts" section.  It's divided into "technique," "sketch," "lettering," and "journaling."  Each section has a list of prompts to help motivate and excite you!  I found a few ideas that have me itching to go play.
  • There are a wide variety of styles represented in this mag.  Some messy, some thoughtful, some precise, something for everyone.  
  • It's just $4.99!  

I have to admit that most of the time I'm a hold-it-in-my-hands kind of gal.  I like books, I like magazines, I like holding onto that paper copy.  But the embedded videos really take "Art Journaling Exposed" to the next level.

This weekend the e-mag contributors will be posting to their blogs sharing their thoughts on it.  If you'd like to hop around (in alphabetical order):

  • If you say it’s good then it must be (and it is!) – where else can you find all that info stuffed inside a slick magazine for just $4.99? I’m like you about preferring to hold my mags and books but I’m coming around. Now, what page was I on . . .

  • Hi. Just thought to note – these ebooks are not supported on iPad. They need to be installed on a computer and iPad does not support this. Real shame as i would buy if they did
