frandroidBroken Pencil Newsletter - May 2007
Hello all you beautiful people. You know you're hip with it, so don't forget to
check out the upcoming Style Issue of Broken Pencil.
Jam-packed with in vogue indie goodness, like Paris Hilton's jeans, you may want
to stare at it for hours. Plus it's chicer and way more affordable. This issue
includes an article on various indie designers in Canada, a timeline of
independent style, a profile on noise labels and their creative packaging for
CDs and tapes and much more.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
Calling all Debbie Travises and Designer Guys!
Broken Pencil is looking for "interesting" interior designs across Canada. We're
doing a profile on strange and wonderful interiors, and we need people to
suggest some interiors across Canada. If you have a creatively decorated
stomping ground you'd like to share with the rest of the world, drop us an email
with the subject line, "Interesting Interiors" at editor[at]brokenpencil.com
Hey, do you know what time it is?
BookShorts Cover Contest Time!
BookExpo's VIDEO SHOOT OUT wants to offer one lucky indie artist the chance to
win a complete BookShorts video production package complete with
post-production. There's no doubt about it, this is one hell of a good prize.
How do you win this fabulous prize? Easy, follow these five simple steps:
*Step 1.* Think of a cool video idea about your zine or your indie print project
and pitch it to BookShorts-on screen! Need to get inspired? Check out some
indie-created productions we love at www.brokenpencil.com/bookshorts
*Step 2.* Dust off your Bolex, borrow a camcorder, use your cell phone, talk at
the webcam, flex your Flash fingers, hey just take a photo and narrate your
story to it -- all you need is a good idea and 60 seconds of rant. It's the
pitch -- we'll make your video when you win :)
*Step 3.* Fill out the entry form at http://www.brokenpencil.com/bookshorts/ Send it along with your video pitch.
Make sure you send that gem before midnight on May 24, or else you will be sad.
*Step 4.* Forward the contest to everyone you know. There is nothing wrong with
a little competition. Makes the juices flow.

the fab video-idea-gems, and we'll announce the Shoot-Out Winner.
The Horror Issue of Broken Pencil
Are you always the one who tells the scary stories while roasting marshmallows
around the campfire? Or maybe you do a mad Vincent Price impression. If so, and
horror is your bag, pitch us your stories for the upcoming Horror issue out in
the fall of 2007.
