Title: Orgrimmar Billboard
Post by: Kozgugore on April 03, 2010, 11:25:56 PM
A new billboard has been placed in the middle of Orgrimmar. Although empty at first, it soon becomes filled with little notes and posters  - some of which are hastily removed after not having been approved as well.

OOC: I know, yet another newspaper-kind of item to loiter the server with. However, I just thought I'd give this a try, since there are no Horde newspaper variants so far, except for the pro-Forsaken one. Since this is a public board, people are free to send me their pieces if there's something they'd like to advertise or share with the rest of the (Horde) server - given it's approved by the IC-appointed warden, of course. ;)

I tried to make a better looking one for you -- screwing around on illustrator and photoshop.
Not too happy about the font yet, however.

EDIT: And another update. Mind you, I am just fooling around with the software; I downloaded both yesterday and wanted to check out the cool new features.

Wasn't the Horde symbol red at first? Thought I like that touch. Anyway, I could give that one a try as well, and make a poll which one is most preferred. I might need a slightly bigger one in height though, as I rather not use a too small of a font for the readers to narrow their eyes at.

Photobucket seriously reduced it's size. I uploaded it to imageshack at first; that one was waaaay too large in size for a preview.

Looking better and better! Let me know when you think you've put up the final draft, then I'll get to publishing another edition.

Sent the big files via PM, koz.

I've just noticed that the second one has a flaw; you better not use that one.

New one, this time wood is included.

Still not fully satisfied however. It just doesn't feel 'right' if you know what I mean.

UPDATE: Now with optional calendar function.

Doesn't feel right? Hmmmm, I rather like it to be honest! Though... perhaps you feel it is 'too pretty' maybe'? Needs a little... 'roughing up'? Bah, don't ask me, I have the artistic knowledge of a grapefruit *sage nod*

Looking good.

Have you noticed I made another background version though? I don't mind if you keep using the current one, but I'm curious :)

EDIT: Here they are again.

Ack! My bad. I saw it before, I simply must've overlooked it when I went out to make the third one. I'll make sure to use it for the next instalment!

Edit: Thar we go, edited the third edition to what it should've been (which, might I say, looks even better), found here (http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/627/edition03v2.jpg).
