<div class="IPBDescription">i37. UK's biggest LAN</div>Hey guys, I've come up with an operation to spread NS2 into the competetive market aswell a bit more.

At i37, the UK's largest LAN, I will be attending and I will be "spreading" news of NS2 and it's current situation at the time (may be just completed).

For this I will need some flyers and possibly a poster.

If anyone is good with PSP and could whip me up some. It would be a great help.

Also if you're also attending i37, then please do bring some flyers aswell so we can advertise NS as well as possible.

    It would be awesome if we could get that guy from fully illustrated or the NS2 artists to give us some official posters, trying to replicate that infestation is going to be impossible =D

    Flyers are Landscape A4s right? Just like folded?

    Okay I've got a draft here but I'm not happy with the content font at all. Does anyone know what font UWE have used for their logo? ( 3 different fonts is seriously bad for design. )

    I'll also fix the spelling mistakes when I find a better font :p

    I recommend you use print off promoitional business cards sort of thing along side an eye catching poster, may be even use Vista print and get in touch with the development team with a final design to make sure it's fine to use that.

    I've literally ripped a piece of cory's art and added the UWE logo at the bottom, because it is purely a brilliant promotional poster. The image *should* print straight on to an A4 when scaled, it's simple and should get the desired effect; along with business cards to take away for safe keepings <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    <a href="http://www.clorf.com/images/poster1png.png" target="_blank">1.5MB Cory NS2 Art in A4 Poster</a>

    EDIT::

    I wouldn't suggest using this one, but maybe get someone to use it as a base idea, a 'business card' that you could hand out to people. Mines rubbish but yeah, simple idea of just showing off artwork/a trailer picture with what you can buy and a link to the site, <a href="http://www.clorf.com/images/cardpng.png" target="_blank">link here.</a>

    i quite like the idea of business cards but the problem is printing on card is much more expensive.

    Thx for the support guys.

    I'll be setting up a paypal soon for donations to see if you guys can help me out with printing costs.

    I want to print these out as good quality, and top notch flyers. I don't want a peice of paper with a picture on <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

    I think Prefix is on the right way with his flyers. The game should be shortly advertised and explained there.
    Not everyone knows, what NS1 was/is and artworks/pictures aren't enough thrill new people.

    Have you already thought about printing them on photopaper with an inkjet printer?
    The quality should be quite well, the only problem might be the back side...

    Besides I'm purchasing much labels and stickers from a professional printer here in germany for my company,
    so I might be able to get a good price for such HQ flyers. I'm quite confident that I'll get a nice price. So
    if you/we have some money to spare I could ask them. A finished flyer artwork is required.

    Aren't LANs usually dark places? To reduce glare and stuff? How about cutting up a 1:1 scale papercraft skulk and hiding it somewhere dark, it should freak a bunch of unsuspecting people out. Just put naturalselection2.com next to it.

    You've got a typo-mistake in your flyerback.png

    On the left lower side:

    "Skill based movement, fast paced -->COMABT<--..."

    Well for some reason, I can't see the new flyer, but if I could add in some criticism, the text doesn't sound that appealing in the first version.

    Perhaps some cheesy slogan referring to Darwin such as "FPS'es have evolved" (but not that one because it's craptastic) or the more classic ones ("time to evolve" "evolve or die" etc...)

    The flyer looks like a fact sheet. Now I guess that it's considered in the fact that this is a LAN and not, say, a game shop, but to get people hooked, I think that this could be more effective (still always as cheesy):

    "After the success of Natural Selection, a new milestone in FPS...."
    "More than just an FPS; also an RTS"
    "Lead your team to victory: commander modes allow a top-down view of the battlefield to expand your base and exterminate the enemy"
    "First person melee! The Kharaa, contrarily to the Frontiersmen, rely on their powerful jaws and claws rather than weaponry"
    "Fast-paced combat, high levels of teamwork..."

    I think this order is more suitable, because if you're not familiar with the game, you'll need to know, in order:
    -This is a serious game, not just from a part-time enthusiast.
    -This game is better from others
    -How can it claim that?
    and only then, if people are still reading the flyer
    -What's the gaming experience really like.


    Perhaps mention the fact that the Battlefield commander (which is quite well known) barely ressembles the NS commander, though don't overload the flyer.

    Play some NS with the people at the LAN, that should sure hook some if there is a good commander :)

    I gave it a try. Got lazy and just pasted the about page. If it's what you're looking for I'll do up more.
