Crystal Lake Gazette Design Preview And Question
We had to delay the release of the Gazette for a little longer than anticipated. However, since our visitors will be reading the Gazette, we figured that you should have a hand in the deisgn and layout. Right now, we are torn between a magazine type of design and a typical newspaper layout. Below are examples of what we are looking at.
Both images come from the sequel poster contest we ran at the beginning of the year, modified a bit for our purposes, What design would everyone like to see for your Crystal Lake Gazette?

Newspaper. Just like in the movies!
Really, really cool!!!!
I have to say as much as I like the magazine look, I think the newspaper is more fitting, but I will be happy with whatever you choose!
I would like to go with the newspaper layout. I love it already.

I agree, the newspaper seems more personal, more small-town-ish.
NEWSPAPER HANDS DOWN!
Wow, apparently I’m the only one who likes the magazine idea better!! I like the newpaper idea too, and some people have brought up good points as to why it would be better, but the magazine still gets my vote!!
Newspaper!!! Very fitting of the franchise.
Newspaper.
Newspaper gets my vote.

Love the newspaper.
Hmmm…do I get a say? lol
Honestly JF, the magazine is very cool. But when I first envisioned this whole thing, it was definitely in the form of a newspaper. To me this was all about \News from Crystal Lake,\ and the only thing I feel that can really capture that kind of authenticity has to be in a newspaper format.
But like others have said, you guys are ultimately in control of this now, so it’s your decision.
I’m just glad to see it’s taking off and it looks like at least a few of this site’s visitors are going to like this. Very cool!
Even though I personally like the first picture WAY more than the second one, I have to admit the newspaper is more “fitting”.
But I always like that first poster, even during the contest.

Newspaper….hands down!!!
I think I have to go with the minority here and say the magazine. If there are mock advertisements and classifieds like what’s in the back of the Fangorias it’d look sharp.
Newspaper, although w/ less blood. It’s kinda hard to read!
I figured the newspaper layout would be the runaway favorite, but it is indeed interesting to look at a magazine type of layout as well and there a few people that feel that way. Thanks everyone for giving their two cents. I am hoping to have this finished up this weekend and perhaps a release next week!
Either one would be cool with me.

That blood is a “2″ (can’t see it all because it’s zoomed in on the thumbnail). The person that made that poster did it for a teaser poster promoting the part 2 remake hopefully coming out, (just in case you missed the poster contest a while back).
So unless the original person remakes it without the 2, it may have to be done from scratch to remove it.
I don’t like the cover. It is just a silluette of the Freddy vs. Jason version of the character. I think they should just use the over of Crystal Lake Memories.
Newspaper 100%!!!!!!
Newspaper!
