URBAN VIBEs DEC 2015 | Page 12

MAGAZINEtalk Editor note: DOSH In 2008 I ran across the whole virtual world of 3D chat. Though I truly can’t recall how or why I came across it, I found myself like many others, signing in and engaging in virtual realities on the regular. After a short while I became acclimated with the scene and the many virtual assets that could be combined with real talents to create “real life in a virtual world.” Within my first year I created a very small group of friends that enjoyed writing and sharing, which in turn gave birth to my first venture the very successful “theHOUSEofPOETRY.” With the immediate success of the HOUSE I then began to create virtual books filled with the many different poets that attended our poetry events. SWERVEmagazine: I first began creating SWERVE as a 3d trigger product to de read in the comfort of your chat room. Wanting to capture a broader audience outside of IMVU I started to play around with many different programs pertaining to creating a magazine. I played around on different sites for a while, thus creating my first few magazines. Again, by chance, I ran across a site called “issuu” which I enjoyed creating with. We released our first “issuu” in 2011, though it was not our first magazine it was the new beginning of a new beginning. SWERVEmagazine
