Indeed. Truly unforgettable. Sure changed my life! 8P

Everyone had fun on that shoot, it was an amazing experience. :)

"Erm, don't you think you're kinda overreacting here"

Well, I agree there is room for improvement but even this is pretty good. And I'm especially glad you understand exactly what we're looking for. :) You've got the right style.

"Also am I the only one who cares about Energia's copyright, or are they just cool enough to appreciate this kind of cameo? "

I am fairly sure Energia is not going to worry about copyright. :D They are fine with derivative works, and Star Wreck was released under Creative Commons anyway.

Heck, when the 2pi fan film started they even took part in the film themselves, and let the Gschwinds shoot the cameo scenes in Energia's own office:

(BTW you can see me at 1:35... ;) and Angela was there too.)

Effin' nora, that's just absolutely wonderfully splendidly splendid with extra sprinklings of splendid on top! :D

Wow. You've got this 100% right Lemo, well done indeed!

The plan is to print some of these as A2 posters for the backgrounds of the office shots. Perhaps this resolution might be good enough for that purpose? Obviously in real life it would look fuzzy but the viewers would only see it within a video.

Brilliant!!!

Lemo, you can find a number of high-quality Star Wreck related images here: http://www.wreckamovie.com/shots/show/4006

Lizette, don't worry about being late, everyone on here is a volunteer so we just give time when we can. :)

We're probably going to close this task now so don't worry about the design, but thanks for the shot and there are still other tasks too.

Lizette, I'm the one who should apologise for being so late with this reply.

I've been heavily involved with the Wreckamovie Festival in June/July, and then Assembly after that, so I am only just getting back to speed with my own productions.

Anyway, here's some feedback if it's not too late:

-The first one looks a lot closer to a good magazine style.

-I would avoid the military font or anything too "novelty", try to stick to more classic-style ones.

-Maybe the box with the text could have a slightly transparent background?

Angela would be better at giving feedback, she's a trained designer. I'll nudge her about this (she's been really busy too, amongst other things she was involved in the Festival and Assembly too).

Magazines (for anyone) all pretty much cost about 5-10e. The only thing I can think of near 2e is Aku Ankka ;)

I would love to help you guys but I cannot tell anything about the prices of such publications because I never bought any, either! Kris, how about you? ^^'

Yeah. A tad too much purple for my taste, too...

Still a good composition on its own, simply not quite what we were looking for, I believe. ^^

Maybe it's the energy drinks, but to me this looks more like a nightclub flyer than a magazine cover? :)

"Why is the film called 'Overlap' by the way?"

Well... umm... you'd have to see it to find out. It's not just a random name.

Tom, that is absolutely brilliant! :D That really does look like the kind of thing you'd see people flicking through in Hoxton or somewhere.

And removing the headlines also removes the slightly tricky plot issue of whether the magazine is in English or Finnish.

About the name, on the one hand Overlap is indeed a pretty good name for a mag and isn't taken, but on the other it can get annoying when the name of the film is mentioned within the film itself.

Brilliant work! I cannot choose, they're different and yet both equally awesome. Different issues? ^^

Glad you are enjoying it - your contributions are truly brilliant! XD

Lizette, if you are just doing a rough mockup almost any resolution is fine as long as it is roughly A4 shape.

For the actual film we'd probably want it to be high enough resolution to print on A4 paper. We're also thinking about printing some real magazines for promotional purposes, so that would be another reason to do a full resolution version.

There's no specific genre, but I would say fairly bright popular culture, like the reference images in the task.

Stylish, bright, but not totally mainstream.

Timespan: There's no rush, take your time. :)

Genre: The magazine would be like the references above, aimed at young-ish people but not necessarily only for them.

Old covers: Hmm... okay, let's say that this magazine has been going since the 1980s up to the present day, so 1980s, 1990s, 2000s photos and styles would be acceptable. I'll add that to the task description.

UPtoDATE should obviously include all kind of "useful" information about how to pick up a new partner... ;)

Trendlog sounds the most likely candidate from there... :)

Looker sounds good too, but I just checked it on Google and apparently it's ah... uh... well I think it's the kind of magazine that Pirk would enjoy.

"(the big problem, ist that all good titles exist already "

Yeah, that's why we're asking for help, it's actually very difficult to find an unused good title! :)

"Vulcanic Ash"

Heh, now that IS trendy...

We can't be too trendy with the name though as the magazine is supposed to have been around for a while.
