Content/Graphics Team Open Call!
by JV_ February 13 2009, 3:43 PM

Our site is always growing, always evolving, and it doesn’t look like we’re going to slow down anytime soon. With that we are pleased to bring you this new home page graphical redesign.

Now for some more fun news. Do you want to be a part of the evolution? All is Brawl is looking for a brand new group of writers who will push the envelope in terms of producing varied, interesting, and informative Smash content for everybody who visits the site. We’re looking for Smashers who, besides pwning at Smash, possess rock-solid writing skills and are willing to share them with the community.

Even if you don’t have a great idea for a piece right away (or maybe you do) and just want to write, that’s great. There will be brainstorming sessions with your fellow Contenters. So if you are short on ideas at the moment, don’t let that stop you from applying. We just need active people who are passionate about bringing some great content to the AiB community.

Bonus Points, and PolarJunkie-baked cookies if you have extensive knowledge on the following:

  • Tier and character updates. As it relates to the evolving metagame. (Maybe Yoshi is making waves as a Meta Knight counter? We want the community to hear about it.)
  • Advanced Smash theory.
  • Stories/Thoughts on how best to use AiB to get involved in the community.
  • Tournament scene and Smashfest coverage, videos, player interviews. (We are really looking for tournament scene and player coverage. Maybe you just want to video-blog your tournament experience. Maybe you can let the world know who the top players are in your region, provide interviews, videos, crazy jokes or words (No Johns!, JV _ Stocked!, etc. Bottom line is we want consistent live news coverage.)

  • These positions are on a volunteer basis, and we're looking for at least one article every three weeks (that said if you are doing video tournament coverage or something, and it's great, we would be interested in case-by-case content from you). If you can provide an absolutely fantastic article every three weeks, then you've bought yourself a ticket onto the All is Brawl Content Team. Have fun, and good luck!

    But wait that’s not all. As you can tell by the graphic this go-around I am no Da Vinci. With all these new pretty story box graphics we are looking for artists willing to share their expertise and come on board the AiB graphics team to help make Allis a pretty place. We are only looking for artwork as regards to the need for stories or graphical redesign. So there would not be a big-time commitment and assuming you are busy during a given time hopefully another Graphics Team member could pick up the slack. That’s the point of having a team! So get your application in now!

    To apply, send a short bio about yourself as well as a sample article or artwork to content[at]allisbrawl.com. If you have any questions, feel free to send to any our amazing content team leadership group, PolarJunkie, PeachyAenne, or surfingnc. Graphics questions go to LadyMartel. We'll be accepting applications until Sunday, February 22, and we'll announce the newest additions to the Content Team shortly after.

    You don't have to be good at Smash to write articles on it.
    Unless you are writing about Advanced stuff...>__>

    But I'm more or less bad at Smash so don't let that discourage you.
