We had been planning to come to the October meeting today, but haven't been able to find child care for our son. =/
We are interested in:
Graphics, Merchandise, Publications, and Press (Myself)
Website - (my hubby)
Here's what I was hoping to say there...
I just wanted to make a suggestion in the "Publicity Managers" volunteer positions that are listed. First, I think the "Graphics" should be edited to say "Artist" or "Designer" because as I'm reading the description, this is the person who designs the logo for the con (or simply finds someone else to do it - the Publications person do that finding).
Second, it is a lot easier (and will prevent a lot less headaches) to have the same person due the Publications & Merchandise. If the Artist who does the logo does not know how to make it camera-ready, the person that does the Publications has to fix the logo. Now if the person doing the Publications doesn't know how to produce camera-ready art for a branding company, then the same problem arises for the person doing Merchandise. They will have to fix the Publications persons work. It's smoother for one person to do all three aspects, (Art, Publication & Merchandise), but lots of Designers that do print production are not necessarily a good artist and vice-versa.
I myself, am not a good artist, but I have years of experience in print production, handling branding merchandise, and communications.
My husband has been doing websites for a while. Our own personal site it
ProtocultureX.com and our other site
PCXDesigns.com to give you an idea of what we can do. He would like to make a professional looking web site for the con.
Sorry this was so long. We wish we would have been able to make it today. =(
