We have been assigned the task of writing a newspaper about Second Life in a positive manner. We have decided that our paper will be an informative list of things to know about Second Life. We, as a group, have also decided that we will not take this paper with too much weight for the sake of anyone who is to read it in the future. Meaning that we wish for the reader to have an easy time and not be overwhelmed by the new information that we are providing to them. If this is seen as too informal then i must say that we are not trying to be formal because our readers are not formal but academic. Which means that as long as the paper has meaning and purpose, it can be a bit informal.
My contribution will be three report articles and the layout of the paper itself. while i am not working on the grammar aspect i will also look out for anything that is simply noticeable. my articles will be mostly on the human aspect of the game and all the socializing that goes into Second Life. It will cover travel, talking to others, and the whole international aspect of Second Life. Travel will be about Island Hopping and its random joys that can only be found by going from one random location to another. In the conversation aspect i will discus tolerance in the world and how to respect others. And in the international section i plan on showing how many different people are online.
as for the layout of the paper i will start with the title of World Time Fun, and work my way down with a basic schematic of text, photos all pulled together by color. so everything will go down in columns till about half a page where the article will halt and start another column. a picture will be to its side if not some random advertisement for Second Life. To gain realism i will try to create a magazine feel more then not, because of the lack of formality in the information itself.
