Lollercaust?

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

After being called Racists for the Black Iron Prison logo, that would not surprise me.

LOL I almost forgot about that!

the way i see it, "holocaust" is some sort of german festival

or maybe the caption MEOW on really weird or silly looking people?

I have a feeling even this has been done already.

It has, 'cause I do it, but I don't know if it's original to me.

What is this crap? Owait... I wrote it.


In other news, Jack of Turnips is the best potential contributor to Lollercaust that I can think of, because I've read a fair amount of his stuff (on PD.com and Uncyclopedia). It's pretty much all brilliantly funny and insightful.

Jack, if you're reading this, we need YUOR help! Inspiration is available free of charge!

Layout Concept #1 (full size newsprint sketch) *Click image to download*

I still may transmogrify the content several other directions.

looks great!

just, question, layout is square, how do i print this without a special printer?

also i thought that the bit that says "FALL 2008" said "FAIL 2008" at first, maybe a nice idea

and i'm not entirely sure, but i think we have more text than what fits on this page, or not?

[Cramulus]

I love it!

What program do you use, btw? That same adobe one you passed to DCup all those months ago?

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

The layout I was using wasn't nearly that good, which program did you use?

[Requia ☣]

The layout might be good for the multiple small releases of lollercaust someone mentioned earlier.

You could also do it with multiple pages in a pamphlet style.

if it's InDesign, it would be cool if you could throw the .indd file somewhere, preferably in a ZIP file together with the fonts you used.

This is actually a full size newspaper 23" x 23" so you'd need to use a printer that architects use, though ideally it would be printed on newsprint to keep costs down. I was thinking that minimally, it would be two pages of this size, printed on both sides and folded twice as most newspapers are. The grey boxes would be art (photographers and illustrators HALP PLS!) and the ads would be satirical.

I also have another concept that I have developed much farther than this one that also requires a wide format printer (minimally 8' long). These printers actually are much more common than people think. You just have to leave the cool glow of your computer screen and call some local printers up. If that's too much to ask, I could probably mail some folks small quantities of 'em. The perceived convenience of printing something of this your size on your work or home printer would start to get more complicated once you have to deal with binding all those pages together. The newsprint and my second concept avoid the binding issue, you just have to fold instead.

ETA: You can still print this out, just for approximation purposes not publishing, by ticking the "Scale to Fit Page" box.

I think I recommended Scribus, which isn't quite as nice as InDesign. If at all possible, InDesign or QuarkXPress are the way to go.

It wasn't a template if that's what you were thinking. I built that bitch myself from the ground up with InDesign.

This is a great idea. It might be best to do it in smaller portions, regardless of how it's produced. But if we want it all in one go, the newspaper format is one of the most flexible and cheap.
