Question:

Hi, I'm the Captain of The R.C.P.F.C. Club Guild and a member of this guild. Back when theMeji was the Captain, he and I talked and it was confirm then that we were Guild Affliates. Since he's not the Captain anymore and our guilds really having ever talked or done anything or we still Guild Affliates? I think he mentioned we could post our guild info somewhere by we never got around to it since we were relatively new. I'm asking this because The R.C.P.F.C. Club Guild is updating it's rules, forums, and etc. We would still like to be affiliates of course.

Um... Nobody ever got back to me. Help?

I would really love to spread the world of this guild, but it seems that your guild banners are hiding away from me. Can you give me the link to the banners?

Sure! Here's a link that has all our banners and such~

Word around the break room is that we're always looking for new banners, especially fan-made content! Just send it to me, and I'll see that it gets to our Graphics Department.

Hello there,

I would like to contribute to the FAQs by addressing my own concerns, perhaps others may have in the future. o: you may at any time, update it to the first post.

My first question relates to the program used for G.O.M. :0
Besides Microsoft Word (.doc), what is another program you use/recommend? Is there a specific program/software you use to put together the layout and images on the pages? (I'm still trying to understand the process, so that I may be of some help in the future)

As for efficiency, I read on someone's post earlier, if there is anything I can do to aid in speeding up the process...let me know what I can do. Although I am already looking around and seeing what is being asked for. (banners, a need for a crew of graphic designers?, fan art, etc)

*I would help with the art making, but I dont feel confident enough in my digital art skills to do so :/ possible fan-art?

I will, however, continue to do my part in spreading the word about G.O.M. smile

InDesign is a program that's amazing for these sort of things, of course there is the microsoft version called publisher which is a drunk version of InDesign, photoshop is good too but would probably take longer

that's all i can really answer, i don't know what the programs are that's used, someone else should take over answering now >.>

Sorry for the typing mistakes, I don't have a lot of time right now, but I just want to post this:

OMG yes! finally! (I guess someone might've read my post?) I'm totally going to contribute an article! I LOVE The GOM, thank you so much for making your readers also be apart of the magazine. I'm so excited for this, even thogh I'm not crew,(though I have sent an aplication to be a graphic designer...) I'll try to be as proffesional about this as possible.

(well I'll write something if I have time... but Jimmy could be getting a PM from me!)

so for my question:
what is your deadline for the next issue?

&

@Shinigami-ANBU// does it matter what version of InDesign it is? 'cause I do have InDesign but not the current version.  

[Admiral Lord Cochrane]

XD You're most welcome. The contributor system is something that I've been pondering over for awhile now, but did not think the magazine ready for it. It's going to take a lot of work to sort through the incoming mailers, however I feel it will be worth the effort. Who knows, perhaps it will open up mail room jobs.

Regarding what programs are used to create GOM, yes, we do mainly focus on using InDesign, yet I also urge the GFX Department to use any and every medium they can get their greedy little hands on, and to play with each programs features - seeing what all they can milk out of it. You'd be amazed what you can do with a program if you know it inside and out.

Thank you for your feedback. I really look forward to seeing what kind of magic our readers can bring to GOM!

I feel bad for suddenly popping up after not really posting or looking around here for a while, but the recent announcement caught my attention.... and I felt the need to ask a question - can you submit JUST artwork, and what kind of artwork i.e. what of? Also, do you require some sort of 'portfolio' i.e. examples of previous work, from someone, and what are the art deadlines (if any)?

Also, is traditional (I'm not good at doing art on computers so I just draw it and use my markers, but I can't ink anything) alright?  

[Admiral Lord Cochrane]

The quality of the artwork may be lost if you are forced to have to scan it into the computer for posting, but we'll except any form of artwork. We'd prefer if the subject was gaia-related of course, but original characters are welcome. We also would be looking for work related to: GOM, events (online & offline), manga (GOM & Mashables), inside jokes, article artwork, banners, borders & fancy work, backgrounds.

We'll accept anything and everything that is somehow appropriate for a Gaia-themed magazine. We do reserve the right to not print what is sent, so keep that in mind when considering your topic for being appropriate or not. We will be strictly observing the TOS & Site Regulations.

We do not require any form of personal background. You'll not be staff, so there is no need to apply. We don't need portfolios unless you want to hand us a portfolio filled with content for GOM. As a Contributor, you are simply submitting work to GOM in hopes of its being printed sometime within the next issue. Again, it's first come, first serve - so, be patient. There will be no 'Psst, it's being printed' notes, so just wait and see.

I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHO BECOMES RECURRING CONTRIBUTORS!!!
