Of course, Kev XY should be "Head Editor" since it was his idea.
I thought Kev said he didn't want to??
Oh.. Anyways I'd like to run. And here is a more in-depth plan of my idea of a newspaper layout:
[This would be just the layout of any issue, really]
Title, which takes up the whole top, or is beside a graphic. We could think of a cool name for it, such as the: PokeGazette, PokeCommunity Times, PokeCommunity Gazette, etc.
Main Article, which takes up the center of the page and the right hand section of the page. It is directly under the title, and takes up about half of the page.
Smaller article, which is directly under the main article, but is smaller than most other articles.
Left hand side will have an 'Inside This Issue:' section, and directly under that we can list the Newspaper Staff.
Calendar, but listing out dates and events. We could put any scheduled downtime, staff birthdays, or anything that we can think of. This takes up about 1/3 of the page.
Normal article, this is a normal-sized article, which also takes up about 1/3 of the page. It could be about any happenings around PC.
MysteryMod Article. This is somthing that is a contest-type thing. We interview a secret staff member, and write an article about him/her. The non-newspaper staff community can guess which staff member it is an possibly get a prize, or their name in the next issue. This also takes up 1/3 of the page.
This one will have 2 normal sized articles at the top, taking up about 1/3 of the page each. It could be about any happenings around PC.
At the bottom we could have a Forum Spotlight, which will also take op 1/3 of the page. If any forum as shown a burst of activity, or we feel there is a reason that we should include this forum, it gets an article all to itself.
Member Q&A. At the top, we could interview 3 normal members, and just ask them any questions about Pokemon, what they are interested in at PC, or whatever. This takes up about 1/2 of the page, and we could include the avatar of the questioned members.
At the bottom, we could have Roleplay/FanFic reviews, we could have games, or really anythig else that would fit.
These are my ideas for this issue:
Title, which takes up the whole top, or is beside a graphic. We could think of a cool name for it, such as the: PokeGazette, PokeCommunity Times, PokeCommunity Gazette, etc.
Main Article - We could introduce ourselves as newspaper staff for this article.
Smaller article -
Calendar - [we would fill this in last minute, right before we go public with the issue]
Normal article - We could interview Aurapostle, for just being modded.
MysteryMod Article - This we would have to discuss via PM...
Normal Article - Emblems, maybe.
Normal Article -
Forum Spotlight - Roleplaying forums??
Member Q&A - We can randomly pick three members, whether they be noobs or members that have been here for years.
Extra -
