Personally, I think it makes sense to have editorial stuff on the inside cover --> i.e. calling all women -- but I guess it doesn't really matter.

Anyway here's the font design I've done. Let me know what you think.

Also I'd quite like to work on the culture section as well if possible

I know I wasn't at the meeting but I reckon trojan horse and UKIP should go on the front page and then have the poster page in the middle somewhere - it would give a little more space because it wouldn't have to say slaney street on it and I reckon it would make a little more sense.
Poster is good though, I will try think of some constructive criticism though :P
Actually only thing I think is it might be cool to create our own image rather than using the satchi and satchi line of people thing? dunno - anyhow I can't do any work today but will try do some tommorow.

Is the dropbox working @edwardbauer ?

@seanfarmelo if we put both the Trojan horse & the UKIP on the front page then we would have a front page entirely full of text they are both pretty massive articles.

Further myself and Amanda Dorter both raised concerns about the Trojan horse article politically at the meeting - I don't think it would be in the spirit of the editoral session to put it on the front page.

I don't personally think the UKIP is front page either not because it is bad but I just don't think it is exciting headline material.

I don't think we have real headline material in the articles - hence why I think the art cover on some piece of relevant information is the way forward. I thought the best would have been the election Kelly has opted for this on the job center sign on every day news.

I think her thing is really good and we should 100% use it. It could go somewhere in the paper - this would mean it would have to be in B/W through the colour pages are currently taken up by adverts in the paper.

However I don't agree that the UKIP/Trojan horse should be front page.

I think we should either create a new peice of art for the cover or move the elections onto the front.

@lindsey what do you think?

I think we should stick with a poster cover - it was posed and agreed by the EB when deciding which articles to use, and I would feel wrong going against that decision. Personally I think that a poster cover is really eye-catching and will encourage people to pick up the paper in the first place.

I like Kelly's image as a response to what's happened, but I don't think it makes sense as a cover because there's no follow up on the inside. The cover image should either be related to election coverage or something that represents us and our values: think of it as the advert for what follows between the covers.

@lindsey @seanfarmelo @kellyrogers we did say at the meeting we would put some small box article on the dole changes so it will be inside in some small form.

By 9pm tonight we have to have decided what we are going to do.

I propose we take three way vote now. If it wins we go with Kelly's cover if it fails we do a redesign and try and make and election cover. Abstain will mean neither option and we go for some like sean suggests with articles on the front page.

I'm cool with it being frontpage. Do think it needs a bit of a redesign though :D

• sorry didn't realise the trojan horse and ukip ones were so long!
