Reality Contact!

[Wicca]

having a PR Comedy cartoon thingy would be cool.

But like all things, we can suggest the heck out of it, but nothing will get done. So if you suggest something your going to have to do it

[Republic_Commando]

That's what I like to call quality.

Well.. I would, but I utterly suck at stuff like that. lol

Something like MS Paint your favorite PR moment.

Also you should have like a "Featured After Action Report" from tales from the front forum, with images and the actual AAR.

Other things that would be cool:
Community factions exclusive sneak peeks.
I like the firefight tips, maybe have things like tank, helicopter or stealth tips

Bob jeff, contact me on xfire: wiccasick

[Dougalachi]

Anyone else having problems getting the host to let you download the file? :/

[Wicca]

Ive made it directly to the file, so you dont get the host shit. If it still doesnt work. Tell me, i was able to DL it.

[Herbiie]

So you're making a highlights and blog section on the forums?


[EDIT]

After actually reading, you just talk to random people about PR. Huh.

It's just a first edition

We're hoping that the paper will Evolve, we'll get more writers and be able to have more content! Instead of just complaining why not try to write an Article yourself? You've got my Xfire so just send me it

Serious or jokey as long as it's relevant to PR there'll be a place for it!

[volks]

Great work wicca, and thanks for such kinda feedback guys, enjoy it!

[cyberzomby]

Good suggestion indeed!

[Oskarious]

Nice, great initative!

[Twonkle]

Great initiative. But if you really want to get readers, then you guys need to work on the page structure. Ad more images, get some sort of boarder/fill the background. Change the font and try to avoid wall of texts and! Most importantly, even for small mags like this. Get a front page!

You do also need some one to check the grammar. It's not really *that* important since it's a global community, but grammar mistakes can create huge misunderstandings.

As I said, Great initiative and hopefully you'll manage to make a good news paper next month (because, if you ask me, I couldn't bother reading all this with the huge amount of wall of text!)

I understand that this is the first release! But criticism is needed if you want your next release to be better and/or to have more readers.

I'll gladly help you with looks and design in the (maybe near) future! I just need to see if I got time :/ If I had a lot of spare time I'd absolutely would help you guys.

EDIT: Take inspiration from other magazines! I'll provide you with some pics, that might help you in the future, tomorrow!

EDIT2: DON'T USE LOW PIXEL PICTURES! :O

Wicca made the first issue all by himself. Now, we have someone working on it with some more graphical skills so:

Already got it, and a nice cover to go with it. The next issue will be very different than this one.

If I'm right theres also someone for this

Yea I had trouble myself as well

I understand that this is the first release! But criticism is needed if you want your next release to be better and/or to have more readers.

Very good tips indeed. Although like I said, we already figured the graphical stuff out Always welcome feedback and criticism.

Very cool! if you ever get some time PM me or Wicca and we can see where we need you.

EDIT: Take inspiration from other magazines! I'll provide you with some pics, that might help you in the future, tomorrow!

Nice! I also paged through some magazines here at home. Theres some nice things to be done for sure!

EDIT2: DON'T USE LOW PIXEL PICTURES! :O

Yes! Good tip indeed!

For your effort I shall post a mock-up page and some earlier work. As a short teaser to warm the crowd up for the next issue.

Example of my earlier work (paper for school, thats why its in a language most of you cant read)


And an actual proof of concept page for the reality contact:


I'm still thinking about making a full text page. I also have a concept image of that but its still a bit wall of text like. So I gotta work that out

Also in the works: A mobile version for people that have a smartphone. So you can read it if your in public transportation for work or school or have a spare minute Thats right! We got it aaaalll in the packaaage!

[Twonkle]

Looking good! Btw, netherlandish is pretty easy to understand, at least when spoken... It's just a nice mix of german, swedish and english!

Well, wall of text does work at a certain amount. But add quotes then that has a key sentence or a funny sentence in them. I'll explain it better for you when I PM the pics I took for u.

[cyberzomby]

ah! I actually did add quotes in the wall of text to guide people through. Looks like I actually did the right thing than

[AfterDune]

Who's Mr. Widsom?

[goguapsy]

Very very nice at a glance, I'll read that whole thing later.

But as someone stated... "This mag is worthless without pics!"

Just saying, some pictures would be nice.


Any help needed, Wicca? I probably can help you with that if you need, except if that involves getting to talk to you at a certain time, for example. I suppose I won't have issues with deadlines, but I just might with appointments.

[Matrox]

Where's the page 3 models?

[Cheditor]

Matrox I offered but they didn't like the idea.
