Year End Review Format.....

Buff People.....

I've been bashing around the idea of a two page spread for everyone who wants to contribute to the Year End Review and struck upon the following format as a suggested way to make it consistant. The mag will be the same size as the last one (the bigger format) and I'm picturing a 2 page spread with reviews, pictures, etc for each person. If someone only has time to do a single page, that works too. I'm counting on Joe, Kris, Nick, Kendall, Donna, Tom and myself and hoping for Nikki, Jules, Graham and whoever else wants to throw their two cents worth in.

I've started mine and included some candidates in the sections below. We need them by the end of November.

so, it's really not the year in film, it's the year in DVD?

how should we get this to you (i.e. will a simple word doc do, and you'll convert to mag format)?

i'll have mine to you by the end of nov.

I really like the sounds of this format. Very fun and interesting. I will try and have two pages by the end of November but there is a chance it will only be one as I have too much work due the week before to even think.
