So Cheif Bast (Jamie) here asked me about making this newspaper. I can and would love to IF I can get hi res pics of the mug shots. If someone can get me those, then they get a free paper when finished.

I think thats about as good as your gonna get brad :unsure.I have it on blue ray but i can't take a screenshot.
 
I have created a newspaper template for the Fratelli's Newspaper. I just have to figure out how to print it, type of paper, etc. Hopefully it comes out good.
 
No i could not find high quality photos, but I think it looks good. As soon I figure out how to print it out, I'll post a pic. It's pretty accurate from what I could make out from screenshots. I'll email you a copy pdf if you want.
 
Here is a sample of my Fratelli's Newspaper. Hope you like it. This is the first prop I have created. I am also working on my Copperpot Wallet. Driver's License is courtesy of PitBull. The map was courtesy of Dario Lazzari, but I did all of the paper aging process.
 
I Googled "Astoria Ledger Fratelli news paper" and there are two large graphic of the completed NewsPaper. Good place to start.
 
Well I have spent and age looking for better pics and someone even sent me HD scrrecaps but I think they aren't up to snuff. Unless we can find an original prop or it's totall reworked by hand I think we are outta luck. The txt is easy. The pics are the problem;)

The quality of real mug shot photos would be low in any case. Additionally, newspapers were/are halftoned (little dots), so I think you could get away with the HD screen cap photos as the source if a good photoshop/illustrator artist could recreate and enhance them, by adding detail/sharpness and resolution, airbrushing problems away, etc. Then adding a halftone filter before adding it to the page layout would hide any remaining problems of the recreated photos.
 
Well are you volunteering then mate? lol I am too much of a photoshop noob to be of any good here.

It is an exciting prop.

Thanks for the tips. Brad is is going to print it out for me to see how it comes out. I'll keep you guys posted.
 
Well I am happy to share the HD caps with anyone working on it as they were generously given to me:)

This is exactly what I did for a WWII illustration I found on-line for use in the Lost Journal of Indiana Jones. It worked pretty well, so it is certainly a viable option.

I really hope this happens as i would love to see this done with good pictures. Would be great to add to my Goonies prop collection
 
Someone is selling a Fratelli's newspaper prop on ebay.

MOD EDIT: Please do not post ebay links, thanks.

Brad - Any luck on the production of the paper prop template I sent you? Not sure if you received my PM a while back. Hope all is good.

Until we find a clear photo I wouldn't want to work on this. There has to be someone with thier photos.
