Are you unafraid to show the true colours of the elite, be they Minister or Headmaster? Are your day-to-day doodles at the receiving end of your wife’s screeches? Whenever you’re bored, do you rely on a cone and the thin walls to drop in on your neighbours’ conversations? Do you hang out with the rising Quidditch stars and have juicy news to share? Boy, do we have the job for you. The Daily Prophet wants YOU to apply.
Currently under new administration, the Prophet is looking for dedicated writers and thinkers. Creative and determined minds are encouraged to try out for the available positions*. Be quick in applying, as there is a limited amount of positions open in the following departments: Layout, Advertising, Sports, News and Lifestyle.
Don’t forget to pick up your application before you go! Just remember, the early Augerey catches the flobberworm so submit your application pronto!
For Those Applying to Graphics: Please read the directions below carefully and submit the final product to any of the RPG/ Daily Prophet staff listed above. This sample is IN ADDITION to the application that is linked above.
SPOILER!!: Graphics Instructions
a) Please submit an example of your work.
b) Using this image, please try as best as you can to recreate this very simple final product.
c) Download this font for the body of the article (Headline will be ELEPHANT font, in caps), and this template, and arrange the image you created in b) as well as the following passage in the template as best as you can:
SPOILER!!: example article
Headline: FORMER NANNY PUBLISHES TELL-ALL
Body of article:
Britain's illustrious Minister of Magic faces yet more chances of being "illustrated". This time, Minister Brennan Cooper seems to have been immortalized in Mrs Ginger's captivating work of non-fiction - From Diapers to Dabbling in Politics. Although possessing what is admittedly not a very clever title, this publication seems to have captured the members of Britain's wizarding community by storm!
Mrs Ginger, whom our sources have confirmed was indeed the minister's governess when he was a wee lad, has recorded every single stage of Minister Cooper's young life in incredible detail. The very first paragraph immediately draws the attention of the reader by describing Little Cooper's first word (you'll have to read the book to find out what it is, Mrs Ginger's publishers have refused us the right to reproduce any portion of the book). The content is without a doubt intriguing, while the writing style itself flows easily off the pages.
However, the tale does not end happily for this potentially award-winning writer as the Minister's representatives vehemently deny every fact represented in the book. One unnamed member of the Minister's office was overheard saying, "This is nothing but pure fiction, spawned from the wishful thinking of a senile woman."
Fact or fiction? The members of the wizarding community seem to be unaffected by the legal battle, as the book has quickly shot up to bestseller status in merely a week since it's release date! Mrs Ginger may end up paying millions of galleons in legal fees if the Minister's office decides to charge her for libel, but with sales of her book hitting the roof of every single bookstore in the country (and indeed, parts of the Eurozone), this little old lady will have enough to last her til the end of her days... and then some.
*Although we’re accepting OOC workers as well this time around, there will only be a limited amount of these so if you wish to be part of the team please get in your applications as soon possible. IC workers are HIGHLY encouraged. People interested in graphics should include direct links to five examples of their work in question 12 of the application.

btw, do people who are applying for a graphics position should also submit a writing example?
No, you don't have to submit a writing sample if you're only applying for a graphics position. However, if you want to you are more than welcome to do so. This way we can offer you another position if all the graphic related positions are taken.
If you are applying for a graphics position, you MUST follow additional directions found in the thread that linked you here. Please submit your template to Ama.
I dunno what that means. xDD. Does that mean that we should submit our examples to you?

Alrighty. That made things clear. =DD but one last thing:

So we need to change that colored image into a sepia one?

Yes, in a way. Try to recall a previous issue you've seen of the Prophet. If you can picture in your mind of the pages/images and overall look that's what we're looking for for you guys to recreate.

Not applying, seeing as I'm perfectly happy as a shopkeeper, and don't need a lot more on my plate ooc, but is it bad that I saw that "change this pic into this" and thought that was easy? [s]Granted, easy if I had PS on this computer again, but still. )
Good luck to all who apply

I thought about that too. People who will apply might just use the final product instead of changing the colored image into something like an old printout. Idk. xDD.

You know what? That's exactly what I thought. Although I'm not going to do that at all, other sneaky ones might
Question: Is question number 13 of the application should be filled by those who are applying for the graphics position? Is it necessary?
b) Using this image, please try as best as you can to recreate this very simple final product.
Hahaha, awwww, the ol' granny *squishes* I remember when I had to do that...

Heh, you think it might work out, but it wont, seeing as you'll have to be doing the same thing for all the DP issues (not saying that you would, tho). *eyes anyone who's thinking of being that sneaky*

Question 13 is for those interested in taking part of the Prophet as a writer. You can apply for both a writer and graphics, if you, but ultimately you'll only be chosen for one job if accepted.
And Ya'll can try to be sneaky, but we'll know....
