Article Catchup: York Vision Issue 202

It’s been a while since I update here last, but I’ve definitely not stopped writing. I’ve finished an entire year working for the York Vision newspaper; and as such I’ve racked up a nice collection of articles.

Some of these articles I have saved .jpg copies of, so you can see the layouts of the pages too.

This issue, 208, is one of the earlier papers back when I wasn’t the main editor for the games page. This meant that I had no say over the stylistic choices for the layout, which was… pretty bad.

The decision to do Style Boutique/Style Savvy as a review largely spawned from a dare imposed by a friend. After trying it out, I found it to be a really unique experience; so doing a review of something outside my gaming comfort zone sounded like something special. I’m happy with how the article itself turned out – even if the badly stretched images pretty much ruin the final piece.

The Gaming Cookbook  feature I’ve already posted here – this was the issue it was meant to be a part of. It’s nothing special – and in retrospect, not as funny as I thought it was. Ho hum.

As a side note, I’d actually produced images for both of my articles to appear in this issue, but they weren’t included in this version of the page. Before this issue went to print I was able to restructure the Style Boutique article to have better-fitting images and the image I took.
