Week 8: #AskGaryVee

Hi everyone, and welcome back to week eight!

During the eighth week, we discussed more about the Phoenix Comicon as usual, but there was more focus on the booklet that I am doing. The showcase is in early June.

I am not sure we will be able to get to doing our short video (hopefully we will but it seems unlikely). I spent pretty much all of this week working on the booklet, because that will be my focus in the short time I have left here at Game CoLab. The booklet will also contain the relevant survey responses. In the interest of not showing you the entire booklet, here's just a couple mockups I've been working on!


To build the booklet, I am using a free and open-source tool called scribus (https://www.scribus.net/). It has worked well with no hitches up to this point, so as long as I get everything together, this booklet is going to be pretty awesome!

We have gotten to 23 responses on the surveys. It is not as much as I had hoped (we still have a little time before I have to stop the survey and put the results together), but it is more than last year's survey and still has information that is useful to us. The most important thing to remember with surveys and information in general is not to make any assumptions; the data shows you the actual numbers behind what you think is the case.

Early skims over the data show that there is some varied data across the board, so it is not just skewed in one direction (aka the questions relating to revenue or things of that nature). As a result (no pun intended), the data in itself is more interesting and relevant because it is not just the same across the board.

The reason I titled my post #AskGaryVee is because I finally got around to purchasing Gary Vaynerchuk's new book (http://www.amazon.com/AskGaryVee-Entrepreneurs-Leadership-Social-Self-Awareness/dp/0062273124). I am unsure of whether I will get it in time to read it and blog about it but I have no doubt that I will get around to reading it.

My time with Game CoLab is almost up; although this post is about week 8, I mentioned that I would be blogging a week behind so we are at week 9 today and I have one more week left to finish everything I need to finish and get working on my presentation.

With that said, that's it for week eight, come back for more next week! Thanks!
