hi homeage... welcome to CG Forums....

You've found the right place to chat about gadgets. :)

:confused: Ok question, I'm not technically minded so am looking for help. I'm an interior design student and one of my projects is to find a way to store magazines, without them being seen, but they must be easily accessible. I was thinking of going along the lines of a vending machine system / jukebox kind of a thing, but I have no idea of the mechanics of the thing. Is it at all possible and still keep the mags in good condition? Am I making any sense at all? or have I just had too much herbal inspiration?

Good products often come from inspirational ideas. I think your description makes perfect model for a magazine storage. The less light the magazine is being exposed to, the longer it can be kept (less colour fading and so on...)

I presume you are expected to build this artifact yourself?

Hi Keith, thanks for responding. No I don't actually have to build it but I do have to submit the working design and it's the technical workings of the machine that I don't have a clue about. That is, on a jukebox you press the buttons the machine identifies and finds your selection, how? I want this thing to use the same principle but for a magazine and then produce my selection for me. I need to know if it can be done without ruining the mags. Hope someone out there can help.
