The Magazine
In addition, people are joining Second Life at an enormous rate, and looking for apartments, and ways to fill them. Other people are looking to upgrade - and there's always people looking for the latest 'must have' - as well as people wanting advice on using prims cleverly, or making rooms look better - from tweaks to complete makeovers. Prim Perfect covers all this and more. Take a look at the May magazine, for example, or browse earlier editions here.
One feature each month is a showcase apartment - each month in a different sim. We take a simple, bare apartment (or skybox or cabin or whatever) and ask a different designer each month to design a concept and furnish it. This then features in a major photoshoot that is at the core of each magazine. We see it as a great opportunity to showcase the work of the designer. Of course, this won't be a once-and-only opportunity. We hope to work with designers, so if they have a major collection coming out that they want to showcase, we can feature them again.
And, of course, this publicises the sim where the apartment is situated, so people looking to rent out apartments can benefit too!
But for readers there is a chance to win a really lovely prize - a month rent-free in the fully furnished, showcased apartment.
In addition, there are regular features, such as the latest must-buys, news of new outlets, helpful hints and information. Each month we'll feature the beautiful home of a SL resident, talking about how they furnished it and why. There will be advertising - both from designers and realtors. And we run competitions and prize draws to attract readers.
And we also have a problem page - because people do have problems with homes and furniture - and Prim Perfect will do our best to help!
