Subject: Website: It's....a rough draft! Respond to this email or else I call you.

OR
http://www.yale.edu/comicsclub
(aren't we so cool, we have TWO a-names!)
You, yes you, can make this page awesome. There are three things you
can do. And I know your first names, at least for Dan, Sam, Loide,
Annika, Hao, Liz, and
Frosh-who-might-have-given-us-a-fake-name-Josh-or-something. That
means I can hunt you down, and in most cases, ring your cell in the
middle of class until I get answers.
1. EVERYONE: Take a 5 minute study break. Like now. Look at your
favorites, the things you check everyday /every week, and shoot me at
least 2 cool links, along with a one-sentence (or long rant, if you're
inspired) describing them. These can be anything: web comics you
admire, a good source for photoshop tips, a neat online comics
community, whatever, just something cool.
2. EVERYONE WHO'S VAGUELY MOTIVATED: Do you see my ghetto-fabulous
image, http://www.yale.edu/comics/bwcomicsSM.gif ?
You can all draw something better, because I did that in 60 seconds
and took a crappy digital camera picture of it in order to get the
website done in two hours. If your image is something even more
ghetto, or especially more fabulous-- consider it homework, I want to
see a version of the image from EVERY ONE OF YOU. (That means at least
two of you, seriously.) That was we can have a cycling image of
coolness- neat, huh? (Trust me, I have a plan. A grand plan.)
The image must be a scene that includes:
- Current Issue
- Past Issues
- Submissions (or "Submission Guildelines")
- Meetings (or "Meeting Times")
- Contact Us
- Updates
- Links
Paneling, style of art, or even position / layout of the speech
bubbles is totally up to you, I can easily make any image into links.
Email me said image at 300dpi, or at least 800 x * pixels sized. Or be
a lazy bastard and bring that sketch (dark pencils, or inked) to the
next Thursday's meeting, and I'll scan it there. But you're more
likely to see your image on the main page if you're a cool kid and
email it to me before next thursday. Frosh, I am sorry to say that I'm
a loser, and in the shuffle of comics club supplies, I don't know
where your image went- it was really cool, though. Bonus points for
finishing it, at next meeting?
3. EXCEPTIONALLY MOTIVATED PEOPLE, & SAM AND DAN:
Does the page display okay, can you see everything okay without scroll
bars, is the text size really fricking tiny or is that just me?
What should we put down for the contact email, or should that change,
year to year?
Are the gallery pages for the issues too hard to read, or are the
images too large? Does this style of gallery look so much better that
the inconvenience of noframes is worth it? (I think so, I'm probably
going to change it to this.)
http://www.yale.edu/comics/issues/Jambalaya%20Fall%202006%20noframes/
Am I missing a part of the page we should have up?
Is there any art you'd like to draw, or put somewhere on the site?
Do you want me to change any of the text on the site, and if so,
please send me changes/updates (esp. for things like "submission
guidelines" or dates that you want changed.)
Keep up the good work.
