Hello. You may be interested in covering my Glitch Text Generator and Text Art Canvas for your next issue. It’s a web app for creating various types of text art using Unicode. It has a few interesting features:
The tool and its documentation are here:
http://animalswithinanimals.com/generator/
There is also a tumblr of artwork creating using the tool here:
http://glitchtext.tumblr.com/
Most of the work on the tumblr is by me (Benjamin Berg, aka stAllio!), unless otherwise noted.
I am of course happy to answer any questions.
Oh great, a new writing tool to divert our attention in a thousand directions \o/

“both the editing and layout phases in that timeline seem a little short. you’d have to check with A&R on how long it normally takes them to do layout, but I can at least say that doing full edits on an entire magazine of texts takes closer to two weeks than to one”

From Ana:
“I would propose that we change the date for receiving texts and
contributions from the 18th of May to the 11th of May.
ginger what do you think about this?
This change will also allow us to start the layout before 26-30 may.
That’s convenient because me and Ricardo will be off during that week.
We’ll be participating in the Open Data Legislative Camp in Paris so
it’s best not to count with us during that time.”
