[games_access] E for All FLYER

[d. michelle hinn]

thanks richard!

basically i don't have specs other than a 8.5 x 11 inch sized paper 
that we will cut in half (ie, two fliers per)

i'll work on some text

also -- this has to be done on the CHEAP -- ie, no color at all, 
single-sided, and must look decent in black and white. i have to 
print around 3,000 (to make 6,000 fliers) and that's not gonna be 
cheap. i'm using a national printing chain so that they can store 
this in their database in case i need to call them and order more 
during the show.

also, part two -- this is a consumer show -- so the design specs are 
going to be much less important than getting gamers to join the SIG 
and be more aware that there are gamers with disabilities. our point 
for being at this show is to grow our consumer awareness and support

ok...back to registering....

>>I was just about to send an email about that -- We actually only 
>>have a little more than a week. I'm filling out a bunch of forms 
>>and getting everyone registered at this very moment, as that 
>>deadline is tomorrow.
>>
>>Eelke -- could you put up a list of what accessibility equipment 
>>you are able to bring? I'll then look it over so that I can try and 
>>figure out what I have that you don't and then we can talk about 
>>what we will actually bring (we probably want to have enough with 
>>us to mix things up so that there's something new a couple times a 
>>day).
>>
>>I know Eitan is having a tough time posting to the wiki -- Eitan -- 
>>just email me with info you want to add.
>>
>>So one quick thing via email -- Can ANYONE quickly design a flier 
>>with the SIG info and such or even just get it started with a nice 
>>looking template? If I don't hear from anyone about this by 
>>Wednesday, I'll need to do it myself (ie, it won't be great but it 
>>will have to do) and get it to the printer ASAP.
>>
>>In the meantime I'm doing a conference call tomorrow with the "what 
>>we MUST know about our booth at E for All" at the 11th hour...this 
>>will finally tell us about the set up of the booth plus how I 
>>should best create the booth signage. As soon as I can (I teach 
>>tomorrow so it won't be right away) I'll put it on the wiki and 
>>ping the list.
>>
>>As for coverage for the booth, I will post an initial shift 
>>schedule. There is no need for everyone to be there at every minute 
>>(booth isn't big enough anyway and it would trash our being able to 
>>network). We have Eitan plus 3 others from MIT, 6 of my students 
>>from UIUC, Eelke, Reid, and I who will be there. So that's 13 of us 
>>available, although some will only be there for 1 or 2 days.
>>
>>I'll put this on the wiki but I also wanted to note these things to the list.

>>>Hi everyone,

>>>What's the status of our planning for E for All? We have a little more
>>>than 2 weeks to get organized. Please update relevant info here:
>>>http://www.igda.org/wiki/GASIG_E_for_All_2007
>>>
>>>Unfortunately, this is going to be a rough month for me at work and I
>>>won't have time to do any preparation for E for All. I'll be able to
>>>show up Saturday morning and help with whatever and hopefully show off
>>>Doom3[CC] until I leave Sunday afternoon.
