Why dont people like the graphics? Well, obviously we have to work on it. Maybe GIFS? I mean whats not to love with a GIF? I was also thinking comics would lighten it up abit  big_smile

Comics are for sure. I'm not sure about gifs. They might be distracting.

Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

Also. I know how we can bring that Advertising up to a ten. Scratch CHatter: NEWS ROOM! We get animators so that we can make an animated news room! I was thinking about making one, but never got to it. and the GIFs would only be for the cover.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
...actually, I don't like the idea. Too much work and pressure on the animators.

Me trying harder.  tongue 

Really, I will. I wasn't giving 100%, but it will take longer for me to make it if you want it to be awesome.

My opinion on the issue:

Can we make it the space and arrow keys? Some people seem confused. And the words have little outlines around them, making the newspaper not look clean. I agree with others, maybe we should have an ongoing 'The Scratch Chatter' color scheme, like The Scratch Times (sky blue and white, font: Impact). Just saying.

Okay. I made it so that the article page was orange and white. I'm not amazing at graphics, so if you have any ideas for the color scheme, definitely tell me.  smile

Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

Orange and white was perfect when I saw it. But when you flip the pages...

Anyways, when I said teeny letters 3 or 4 pages ago, that was probably because I was using Java.  lol   lol   lol 

Okay: Next issue.

What will we be doing? I'll scour Scratch. How about comics, and a project review column. I'll take the project review, if you don't mind.  smile

Are you only doing advice about Scratch or are you doing it about life in general?

Mmph. Let's nix that last question, shall we? Scratchers are looking for useful information that they can apply in real life. Unless they were making you dinner, in which case your favorite food would be helpful. X]

But I mean, could they be like, advice questions from people? Like about life? Where people submit when they have problems? Or do you just do like FAQ and stuff. Cause if it's not advice questions about life and stuff then I was thinking maybe I could do a column for that. But if it is...then cool and never mind.

Well, if we're going to do that, we'll need to make sure that the asker is anonymous. Don't want people teasing other people because of their questions.  wink

Re: The Scratch Chatter Writing Offices

Plus guys, I just realized something. We need to make our articles more suprising, you know? LIke say something people dont already know. something a little more interesting. Uncover the truth whether its suprising or scarey, or ugly.

Exactly. They give their question, along with a name they want us to use (Afraid, Confused, Lonely, Sad, Jealous, EXTREMELY HAPPY XD, etc.) And in the newspaper, that is the name we use.
