APoV - The Next Big Project! - Page 2

Antiriad · 10 February 2003, 22:34

I qualify for all those requirements Cody, but i think between the Whd Dat and restoring your HOL scans ive already got too much on me hands.

bippym · 10 February 2003, 22:35

I'd love to but there is a slight problem.....

I cant draw for jack!

woody57 · 26 February 2003, 15:29

Being used to writing essays but not articles I can only offer my project work on my latest A600 portable project . This I mentioned in thread 14th February , obviously if there is an editor I don,t expect to get away with submiting mismatched document and picture files so would ask what format submissions should be in .
I,m no expert , just a bolt on engineer who,s not afraid to ask for help when I,m stuck .
Info please as I don,t { due to having to spread the cost of this project over a few months } want to have to wait 3 months before I present a huge wodge of incoherent drivel that could have been condensed with EAB suguested help !

Mr Softy · 17 March 2003, 10:37

How's this very nice project going? I look forward to see the first issue!

CodyJarrett · 17 March 2003, 11:19

The first issue contents have mostly been decided, some of the reviews have been written, some walkthroughs/maps have been done and we are working on the articles and design.

Mr Softy · 17 March 2003, 11:23

HOL, APoV, EAB, god knows what else... Do you still have time to sleep, Cody, or are you some sort of cyborg?

He he... I know! But as cody was the first one to reply, he is the only important APoV team member for me! Answer faster next time!

(I'm just joking...)

I didn't want to offend you or anybody else... I should have thought about the APoV team as a whole, of course.

Accept my appologies! The whole team has my blessings and moral support.

CodyJarrett · 17 March 2003, 12:49

I do feel somewhat stretched at the moment. Like butter scraped over too much toast. I need a holiday. A long holiday.

Antiriad · 17 March 2003, 13:25

Youre not fumbling about for youre precious are you Cody?
Have noticed you havent aged a day...

Drake1009 · 17 March 2003, 14:38

Hmm why have I missed this thread for so long? I'd love to be a reviewer if I can measure up to the high requirements of the project. But I guess I'm way too late with this ain't I?

Also I can't say to have too much background knowledge about the people behind the Amiga so if I were to write I wouldn't be able to comment on much else than the games.

Dastardly · 25 May 2003, 21:33

Just wondering what the latest on the APOV project is?

I havent heard anything for a while. How are things going?

CodyJarrett · 25 May 2003, 21:37

We are still writing issue 1!

The problem is that there is a lot of work to do and we are having trouble finding the time.

We also lost some of the staff, meaning that there are less people to do the work.

Don't worry, it'll be available soon.

Dastardly · 25 May 2003, 21:41

Well, Im available to write some reviews if the team are interested.

You can check out my reviews at http://www.gods-country.de
If they are of an acceptable standard Id be happy to help out with the project.

If not, then fair enough.

CodyJarrett · 25 May 2003, 21:49

Thanks Dast! We'll finish off issue 1 and then sort out some new staff for issue 2.

Stick around until then!

I think youll find Ill still be here

Drake1009 · 25 May 2003, 23:26

Well you've definately stuck around for a long time so it'd be strange if you didn't stick around for a while more... unless of course you go disappearing as well.

Dastardly · 25 May 2003, 23:52

I probably wont be on EAB as much as Id like to be over the next few months as Im doing 60+hrs a week with my 2 jobs. Its just a temporary thing though and Ill always have time to write reviews for Amiga games.

Even if I do them at work

Drake1009 · 26 May 2003, 08:31

Just make sure you do them when noone's looking. Don't want to get sacked because of it.

MheAd · 24 June 2003, 01:14

Hello!
I recently discovered this forum and by that even this project thing that you guys are calling "APoV".

Well, I'm interested to join the project and start writing reviews.
Are you still looking people for this (I see the thread was started back in Januari) or am I late?

Please let me know !

CodyJarrett · 24 June 2003, 12:00

Hi MheAd! We are finishing off issue 1, but we'll soon be recruiting for issue 2. So, stick around and there should be something soon.

Drake1009 · 24 June 2003, 13:49

With my luck you'll be recruiting for issue 2 while I'm in hawaii which will be from tomorrow and until the 14th

LOL! You never know when Vincent Price will show up!

Drake1009 · 24 June 2003, 14:52

Well I only watched the brady bunch once so it won't matter for me.

MheAd · 24 June 2003, 16:26

Great!
Thanks alot!
I'm looking forward to start writing the articles.

Untill I'm in, I would only like to know couple of things.

Do you want me to do layout of my articles as well or do you just need plain text + screenshots?
In case I'm the one who does the design/layout as well, what program do you perfer to use?

CodyJarrett · 24 June 2003, 16:34

Are you a designer? Antiriad is our only designer at the moment and it's a big job for one person, so someone to help him might be a good idea.

Antiriad · 24 June 2003, 17:12

Indeed! Poor old me!

CodyJarrett · 24 June 2003, 17:21

Get back to APoV work, you!

Antiriad · 24 June 2003, 17:50

Help! Somone rescue me from that cruel slavedriver Cody!

Easy on that *youch* whip!

Drake1009 · 24 June 2003, 20:28

I didn't even think cody would need a whip with that lion in his avatar.

Well I'm not a designer, but if I already write an article, I try to do design for it as well, if I'm competent enough, that is. For that reason, I'm asking you guys what programs you use?

Antiriad · 24 June 2003, 22:27

Ive been using QuarkExpress 5. Its simple but effective. Eventually APoV will be then done as a PDF.

CodyJarrett · 24 June 2003, 22:28

The magazine is created using Quark Xpress and Fireworks.

MheAd · 25 June 2003, 01:01

Hmmm...never really worked with that one.

I'll check the programs out while I'm waiting for you guys kick me into the gang prior to writing of the issue 2.

Antiriad · 25 June 2003, 14:43

Neither had i till a few months back. Its a very simple programme - too simple for some *cough* *Akira*

You could always use Freehand or Illustrator.

Akira · 25 June 2003, 17:59

Quark is poopy, and if you want to be using the " standard", you should all be using macs running the latest Quark 6 for OS X ;P

(whichh is still SHITE

)

Antiriad · 25 June 2003, 19:17

Ah it does the job! I aint fussed in all honesty, id use Freehand and/or Illustrator if i could be bothered to learn them

Twistin'Ghost · 26 June 2003, 16:30

Most major publications use Quark. I believe Amiga Power was done in Quark, even (probably all of Future Publishing uses it). Most major newspapers, magazines, etc. use Quark, including The New York Times, amongst others. It is not poop. There are features most of you will never see because you've never worked with pagination, but it's a pretty significant part of putting together a real publication. While the stuff I work on at the newpaper is irrelevant in the publishing world (IMHO), I communicate with many publishers and such every day. Finding any serious publisher not using Quark is like finding a needle in a haystack.

And yes, Macs are in heavy penetration, but most of us hate them at the newpaper where I work; only the photographers use Macs and even they had to add a new PC just last week due to all sorts of problems with file formats saving incorrectly on the network and some other issues with the Mac's networking.
