Hand Drawn
- approachable, repeatable, do-able
- small lifetime projects
- genuine -- "you're serious enough about the project to supply visual language" -- Austin King
Project Book
(graphic of binder, slips, pages, front and back pages)
"A portfolio of your work" -- Austin King
Binder contains slips. Slips contain original project sheets and photocopies.
Front project sheet contains a title, what the project is about, relevant images and tables, a long description, url if any.
Back sheet contains: your contact info, sign-up table (e-mail addresses, phone numbers, names; also: collect what people need & want -- you may be able to work out a mutually beneficial trade,) in addition to their capabilities & offerings & contributions & insights made; Also: list the roles and resources you need or that people could beneficially contribute to the project. Did I mention get their contact info here?
Media
- sheets, fliers -- easy to photocopy & distribute -- "it visually reminds me" (Austin King) -- also: addendums
- pamphlets, leaflets -- consume less space on the table / in the hand
- booklets, stapled pages -- bulkier, harder to copy & carry -- but: can keep a deeper history
(still not done yet...)
