Hi everyone, and welcome back to week nine!
During the ninth week, we discussed more about the Phoenix Comicon as usual, and getting people that mentioned wanting to sign up on the survey to actually signing up.
It appears we will not get to the video in the week we have left. I spent pretty much all of this week working on the booklet. The booklet is actually coming out a lot better than I had expected. The booklet will also contain the relevant survey responses. Here's a couple more pages to peek at.
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. The booklet dimensions are actually not letter (8.5 x 11) but are actually A5 (basically half of A4). We want to get it printed on quality A5 paper, but I am not sure if I will have a print of it by the day of my presentation, so I will probably just have a printed copy on normal letter paper so you can see what the booklet looks like. It is just not feasible in terms of cost to print out a bunch of A5 booklets without thinking through the cost and number we need. We are considering having advertising in the booklet if possible.
We have gotten to 28 responses on the surveys. It is not as much as I had hoped, but it is more than last year's survey! 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. I stopped the survey a couple days ago so I could start compiling the results together. Although I'd like to booklet to have polished survey results, it appears I will not have time to make the survey results look good in the booklet so I am just making sure that I have a rudimentary layout of the survey results in the booklet and making sure that everything else in the booklet looks on point.
My time with Game CoLab is almost up, and it is time to wrap up the booklet and get started on my presentation.
With that said, that's it for week nine, come back for more for my final week! Thanks!
