lollipop_monkey Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hey peeps! Okay, there's no nice way to say this, so I'm just going to be blunt. Please don't sign up for layout unless you have a bit of experience with layout/desktop publishing, and access to some sort of relevant software. I don't mean to exclude anyone - really! - but for this to come together into a Mika-worthy masterpiece, we need to put the right people in the right jobs. If you've never done layout, don't fret! You can write a poem, write a message, share a memory, draw something, submit pictures - really, the list is endless! Thanks - you may now return to your regularly scheduled program.

I have helped in designing a two page layout for my school's yearbook, does that count? i don't have a desktop publishing software, but i do have adobe photoshop... well, i do hope i'll be able to help anyway! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKateisaKate Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've got lots of experience. I did this whole yearbook for my performing arts high school, and i was the layout whore of my high school newspaper (Including spreads). I love layout! I don't have Indesign access, but I have other stuffs. Yay! Are we picking sections and doing it that way? I'd like to do perhaps either the Art section or Lollipop Girl, if we're dividing up sections. But I'm down with anything of course. I think I have ideas for the LG one. Even if I'm supremely jeaulous after my history with Lollipop Girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKateisaKate Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I meant section by section, I'm not sure if that's what you mean. I don't know what Melanie wants. IMHO, it would be even less consistent it we did sections half and half or page by page. At least the sections would just look different. the first way instead of back and forth. Either way, with 6 people, the styles are all going to be different. Like I said, whatever's good with me, I just wanted to mention a preference if we were to do it that way. I didn't mean to be a troublemaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to be a troublemaker. oh alright, i see what you mean now, yeah its more logical if we do it separately, since its alot of work - well, we can discuss the ideas over here to try to make things consistent, so here's what i think: in the PM mel sent to us, the main theme of this year's yearbook is: *The theme of the book, besides the year 2008 is “How Much Do We Love You Mika?” The reason behind this is basically that this was the first glimpse of the second album we got, and we all found ourselves answering his question with “OMG! You have no idea how much I love you!” and from what it seems from the developments in the front cover discussion thread, the theme would be something along the lines of how mika has spread his influence globally and he unites many people from all over the world with his music? so i guess we can work out a consistent theme for the layout pages from this themes - and make each section unique with individual responsibilities for each section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Keep in mind that any pictures you use should be 300dpi, in order to be printed. Nothing pixelated for our boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guineverer Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 should we split the sections up to individual people then? by the way, i think the papyrus look is great, you can add more colours/designs around the borders or something to make it more mika-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Miss Piglet Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I don't have much experience with layouts, but I do know my way around Photoshop pretty well... So if you need any help, I'd be happy to! Just let me know, okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IngievV Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 What I was thinking, maybe just a crazy idea, but considering the whole new theme Mika has going on, we could also do something in circus theme maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineverer Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 What I was thinking, maybe just a crazy idea, but considering the whole new theme Mika has going on, we could also do something in circus theme maybe? thats a good idea, because then it'll correspond with the general direction the cover teams taking on right now - a sort of circus-y theme combined with How Much Do We Love You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guineverer Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 bump! this is the main idea for the cover design: as mentioned earlier, its taking on a circus theme, so i think this might give a brief idea of the direction we're heading. So we should start dividing up the layout sections to individual people, so comment back with your desired section, then we can continue discussing on the overall design?

KaryLovesMika! Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I did this... I don't know what do you guys think... I couldn't make work the circus things and the papyrus together. It's an example of how would it look like with the poems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
