[Design task] Graphics and cards with participants bios for printing

Booklets

In my experience creating a booklet, especially one which contains lots of individual, personalised information takes A LOT of time. Weeks, or more.

I really like the simplicity of the black printing on colour background.

I do like the name tags from LOTE4 as well, and there’s a really helpful way of identifying people and a ‘take home/memento’ from the event. The design of those could be done in advance and they could be printed in advance, or on the day if organised in advance.

OK

@Alex_Levene so let’s do that? Maybe not bigger than the size of a business card? Should we add the bios there then? maybe a one sentence excerpt from the FuckUp Bios? If you make the design, then I can help by working with someone else to collect that one sentence from everyone.

Design

Happy to do this. I can dedicate some time to this tomorrow, but i cannot currently access the Dropbox links above with logos etc.

Could you email me the logos/images that you want to use for LOTE5 and i’ll put a small card design together.

I think just name and logos of the front, with bio and info on the back. No picture (too much pre-organisation to collect photos)

Alex

Ignore me

I just found an old email with a linl to the ER logos so i’ve got those now.

Does anyone have the LOTE% image in it’s original parts? I can pull the image off the header on the website, but if it exists in it’s original components somewhere that would be really helpful.

You mean the logo?

I can send it to you if you give me your email :slight_smile:

Took the liberty to check your profile - do you have any poetry published?

not yet

I haven’t put anything forward for publishing yet, as i’m trying to set up a small independent poetry publishers in the UK myself, so might have things available online soon. I tend to work more on the performance poetry side as well so i have a few recordings that i’m working up to go on Soundcloud and YouTube. They might be up before i head to LOTE

If you could send me the details to alexalevene@googlemail.com that would be great.

thanks

News on my end…

I’ve started to collect Names and Bios via a google form sent out to everyone. We’ll have a spreadsheet available with all the available info by Tuesday. I suspect the average bio will be around 150 characters (if not we’ll trim the longer ones). @Alex_Levene is it feasible for us to sit down on Wednesday and add everything in your designs? I’m happy to help, it can be quite a lot of work.

Wednesday

…should be fine. Let me know what time is best for you. It would be best for me between 11amGMT and 1pmGMT.

I’ve nearly finished the design, will have it all sorted by Wednesday morning.

Alex

11 am gmt

Oh super, thanks @Alex_Levene!

Let’s do skype at 11? I’m noemi.salantiu

This might help

Hi guys,

Im putting together a spread sheet with all the key information including the participant names and Bios here… I also have a folder with everyone’s photos in it, each jpeg named with first and lat name of person. Let me know if you want the photos.

About the A4 program

heyhey,

I have some questions:

Where do you we print it ? I heard that it’s possible in a Fablab?

When will the program be final so I can make the layout?

For when should it be ready/printed?

Printing on Wednesday afternoon

Hi @CamTesta!

We’re in luck, @Alberto is adding the room names to the online program and then it’s good to go. Let’s wait til after the community call tomorrow (11-12h) to see if last changes are needed, and then you’re good to go with the lay-out.

Let’s prepare to have all printables ready by Wednesday 24th? On Thursday we can go in to the venue and decorate LOTE style.

@Noemi or should the print deadline be sooner?

Your territory, you know best.

Of course the sooner the better, but we all have things to do so whenever you think it’s OK to have it ready @KiraVde.

Made the last changes to the program and added the rooms. Everything in between slots (10:45 - 11:00; 16:15 - 16:30) are coffee breaks, which you can add separately @CamTesta. Again, looking forward to see how it comes out!

Okayy I’ll start working in the next days ! Can you send me the LOTE5 logo by email ? camille.testard@gmail.com !

And what about the printing and the fablab ?

kk

Here is the paper program, recto & verso !

Can you check it ? :slight_smile: The A2 version will be printed this morning but the A4 version on colored paper will be printed by Irène later so I still can modify it

Love your style!

Very well done :slight_smile:

The only thing I’m not sure of is whether the storytelling workshop should be in AddOn and the bottlenecks in compl. currencies in MerabRoom. How many people are you expecting respectivelt @ireinga & @nadia?

Emergency phone number can be mine: +32 484 49 84 80

Seriously nice design! Perfect start of this LOTE5 week!

I suggested the room arrangement

I think the AddOn will be big enough for the complementary currencies sessions.

@CamTesta just change Elzenhof with GC Elzenhof. That’s my last request :slight_smile:

Very cool

Camille can you share the design file? Im trying something out with a kind of digital booklet for people to print at home. Would be nice to include your map in it. Very cool design :slight_smile:

Thanks you for appreciate it guys :smiley:

Hey Nadia, this program will be print it on nice colored paper and distributed it to everyone when they arrive on thursday.

I think that giving it to print at home before would make this useless so I prefer not :-p What do you think ?

Without doubt awesome

@CamTesta you rock.

I think Nadia means preparing the booklet for download, not the program.
