Meeting 25th Feb 09

Hi everyone
Just a reminder for tomorrows meeting. It is important to turn up tomorrow as Richard will be explaining what he needs from everyone on Thursday.
Also give the end paper post below a look as we need to decide what will go into the book fairly quickly.
See you tomorrow
Mike

endpaper suggestion

Please all of you have a look at this scan of an endpaper. What do you think?

I like it because it has 'essence of scaryness', and it is suitably rich and luxurious (which they should be).

Mike's first impressions was perhaps it was a little too extravagant and contemporary (I think that's what he said, please don't sue me for Liable Mike if I have misquoted you there). I would appreciate opinions here

If you google 'decorative endpapers' you get a wealth of inspiration. I quite liked this one

I'd quite like a go at printing my own pattern but I'm figuring we haven't got time.....

the stragglers....

Contents Page

With reference to the meeting notes could I request everyone forward me the title of there design/illustrations.

Many thanks

Rach

suggestion for layout, and questions...

Having now posted up our colour drafts and scrolling through I think the order actually works quite well in alphabetical order as shown. What do you all think?
If you all agree it would make the contents/index pages easy, and clean, and also navigating through the book would be simple if we kept to that layout?
At the moment we are all ordered in first names, but if you prefer I bet it would look just as good ordered by surnames too.


Re: index page
Someone suggested that we should add our email addresses to the details so we could be contacted if necessary. If no one has any objection to this I think it is a good idea. Anyone who wishes to opt out please let me know by MONDAY 16th. Also, if you would prefer me to use an alternative email than your pca one then pass on the details. (I already have Ben as yahoo, and Joe as tiscali)

our pages so far

Research

Since we had many ideas for the cover of our book, i thought it would be useful to have examples of each of these for our research folders, you do not have to use it but i thought id share anyways. 

The last book would be a good example for the idea of using different characters from our stories within the tree scene (although in this example they are not within a scene....its loosely related) 

LOOK i have done research for everyone!! 

(an nearly got kicked out of waterstones obtaining it! )

You can see my shoes in the first one. hahahahahahahahaha

Calling all for your 'bumph'

After Wednesday's meeting we have decided upon an index where we can give full credit for the contents of the book




Please can everyone Email me (bess hills at g mail dot com) the details of your work that you would like to go on the back page

Bumph should include:

• Name
  
• Title of story
  
• Medium
• Any other info that you think relevant (influences, accreditation, whatever) 

It would be appreciated if I get all your details by Monday 16th of Feb so I know what I am dealing with, else the big stick will come out else I'll start a campaign of torture and ridicule
