Lo,
Just so everyone is aware (mostly so I can get some input)... I'm in the
workshop room at the moment and I'll be here until about 6pm-ish... and
I'll probably be here tomorrow too for probably the same hours.
Why!?
Well I'm making leaflets and posters for the LUG (and also helping ORG
Stoke and FSFE Potteries make some for them too) and not only is it
cooler here than my house (tried to do this yesterday at home and it
wasn't nice!)... but also there are other leaflets here that I can take
inspiration from.
The ORG Stoke and FSFE Potteries ones might be easier as I've got both
of their websites, plus existing leaflets from them - as inspiration for
what to include and an idea of how their "brand" looks.
But if anyone has any input on what our LUG posters and leaflets should
look, feel free to either...
a) get on IRC or Discord and tell me
b) reply back with thoughts
c) have a little journey up to Keele and keep me company
I'll be doing all this on Inkscape and I'll be sure to show you the
proposed design when I've got something.
Then find some way to pay for them, and if anyone has any good supplier
for printing leaflets let me know.
At the moment the prevailing thought is to do an A4 double sided
leaflet... but folded twice (i.e. 1/3rd A4 size... or better known as DL
sized).
Let me know about if you think a different size would be better (e.g.
the local hackspace uses A5 size)... but if we're hoping people to take
leaflets off us (to show in their existing leaflet stands or on
surfaces)... then maybe asking them to take ORG Stoke and FSFE Potteries
leaflets too... them all being smaller leaflets might be more likely to
be taken than 3 bigger ones.
:)
