Send completed work to

gamersformarissa@gmail.com

If you find yourself unable to fulfill the commitment, make arrangements for a substitute please.

I have to know how you want to be credited. Your name or "username" ?

SPECS:

Colour palette of your choice.

RGB

300dpi

Page size: 7×7 inches (18×18 centimeters)
After trimming: 6.88 x 6.63 in (17.46 x 16.83 cm)

High Q jpg ok.

BUT... save your original. maybe a real printer will want this someday, who knows? (should we give the originals.. tiffs, etc. to BIff?)




You all must know by now that I'm not well schooled in layouts and font choices. ** I am asking for advice or volunteers.

• The front cover/ title... I was thinking alphabet blocks, but with "computer green" bitmap fonts spelling out "A Gamer's Alphabet" NEED

• dedication (inside front cover) I will write this and ask Biff to vet the content before publishing. NEED layout and font

• back page (the credits) NEED layout and font

• back cover: The pic of Fairfax buried in game controllers. :)

• A promotional pdf would be a good thing. I don't much like Blurb's preview that they provide on the website. This would have to be all done and ready for the "teaser" pics when the above deadline arrives.

folks..... please don't ride the deadline if you can help it? early is good and i promise not to ruin your reputation by telling. :)

there's more than 20 people in this and we're all counting on each other.


speaking of which.....

i am NOT doing well with the book cover. it would be wonderful if anyone has a bright idea and wants to implement it.

i know i can finish my letter in time. the rest of the "setup" is stressing me out.



i wish some of the infrequent flyers would check in and let us know they've not forgotten.

this is important, my friends.

there's 12 days left.

the deadline isn't arbitrary. it's just about the latest we can get the completed book to Blurb and still hope to have it available to fundraise for Marissa at Xmas time. the holiday gift giving tradition is the reason we think the books will sell.

it's not going to do so well if it goes late.


if you can't get it done, no one will think less of you, but you need to arrange for a substitute to do it, ok?

i typed out this long screed, and previewed, thought i'd hit "post" and lost it all. :) again.



Biff's going to send a pic of Fairfax buried in a pile of game controllers.

if nimmot and meska could coordinate something for the front and back covers, i would be eternally grateful; i'm at an impass with my attempts. they were uniformly bad.

i'm also struggling (yes) with choosing a decent free font for the dedication/forward and list of contributors (back of book). then i have to figure out how to make all that line up right... not something i'm good at.

:) i'd eagerly take volunteer help on that, too. ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83323#Comment_83323 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83323#Comment_83323 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:43:21 -0400 mod ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83325#Comment_83325 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83325#Comment_83325 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:56:08 -0400 mod ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83339#Comment_83339 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83339#Comment_83339 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:21:15 -0400 mick ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83472#Comment_83472 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=83472#Comment_83472 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:18:54 -0400 mick

Colour palette of your choice.

RGB

300dpi

Page size: 7×7 inches (18×18 centimeters)
After trimming: 6.88 x 6.63 in (17.46 x 16.83 cm)

be-jot ended up doing jedrek's letter, too. :D recall that jedrek wanted 2 letters? this is prime tease material. be-jot, you are a champ.

as you might be able to guess, meska has kindly taken over the layout work. he's serious about the kneecapping, you late letter lingerers. *NOD*

at least you didn't forget.

i'm going to repeat something i've said a couple of times during the letter submissions:

i think it's lovely that you care and want to help. apparently you didn't read the brief closely enough.



and next time you play ... duck more.


i tried to play Doom a couple of times many years ago. it appears to me that not much has changed.

No news from the Yay boys.

Just to let peeps know, this project is important to the people who have committed time and effort to help in some way towards our friend Biff. It's understandable that people have busy lives and often things will get in the way - but it would be good if you do want to contribute now and in the future, the least you can do is a) finish the task required or b) if you can't, let people know asap, so replacements can be acquired.

Now hurry up! ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=84190#Comment_84190 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=84190#Comment_84190 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:46:57 -0500 mick you're a star. ... and you whipped up something damned decent (as in .. excellent) in record time (and with a hangover, to boot!).

the two terms for W are :

Wipe

First, my heartfelt thanks to all the letter illustrators. That's some awesome, charming, funny, beautiful, sweet work you people did.

Some people did more than 1 letter, a few did three. Exciting to have that much creative energy with consistent quality, too!

A special hug to be-jot who really did some heavy lifting. He did 5 letters altogether, with 2 of them being back-ups. His attitude was most worthy. He said (I am paraphrasing, here) "I don't care if they get used or not; I care about the little girl and moving this project for her forward".

I have to give a shootout to Chuklz (aka mr. lafemi). Many people helped me get the list of words together. Chuck really bore down and majorly helped me refine and define that list of gamer's terms and lingo. He also schooled me on the history of the joystick . The project would have stalled for much longer at the beginning if not for his kind attention.

nimmot and nick were my sounding boards when this first got going. each of their unique perspective informed mine as I tried to get my head around what was needed for the little book.

And.. the meskadon. meska's work on that sweet little cover was truly a thing of beauty. when i saw his working model, my first thought was "oh shit, i HAVE to learn how to mask", my second thought was.. "that's labour-intensive, wow!" taking all those separate elements and combining them into a good book cover was a heroic thing. :)

By default, mesk turned into the layout king when my HD died. i don't even recall asking him; he just did it. I am especially grateful that he was there to make the last-minute decisions that always crop up in any project. the whole thing would have stalled way farther past the deadline without his talent, skill, and attention.

I do want to thank those of you who signed up, but just couldn't get there. Yeah, it was sad that you couldn't, but you cared enough to sign up, you moved the project forward (we nearly stalled during the sign-up phase), and if there was a scramble later, at least there WAS a later.

Finally, I want to thank Biff for putting up with the whole thing. He knows that people show they care in a lot of different ways; some of those ways are a lot more hassle for him than others..

I love you all. :) ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=84997#Comment_84997 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=84997#Comment_84997 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:50:17 -0500 mick
Whatever you need to do, do it. :D

I've been talking with a pal of Biff's that runs a game-focused website. A list of larger and smaller sites to spam with info on A Gamer's Alphabet is in place, and I spent the weekend trying to figure out a way to advertise/solicit/promote to them.

We're going to use the dedication text from the little book, and I've made a graphic to attach to the solicitation.

I do NOT want to be teased about the graf, ok? I asked a few people for help; no one responded. This isn't something I know much about how to do, but I tried and I got something to use. :p I encourage anyone to make a replacement; I'd use something else happily.

Please don't enlarge it; the mistakes show too well.

Just to reiterate, try and do what you can to promote the book and cause. We all have other interests on the web, and i'm sure portals like Behance, Etsy and similar will be good places to announce it. I will also look at magazines, periodicals and similar.

Just mentioning the book the other day in a studio full of creatives, drove interest primarily at marissasbunny.com. One person had experience of IS, another knew of someone who had experienced similar. It's all awareness. Sales increase would be a benefit, Biff and Mrs Biff would benefit from any pennies that come their way. Life's shit, but we can all help to make it better be it small or large. ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85035#Comment_85035 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85035#Comment_85035 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:51:49 -0500 nimmot ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85059#Comment_85059 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85059#Comment_85059 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:02:53 -0500 Scirocco

a lot of emails sent to forums large and small, with almost no replies. something i hadn't considered (being pretty much out of the loop when it comes to xmas holiday patterns) is that these sites are probably being flooded with "gift ideas", and a fundraising appeal might not seem so appealing. ... or at least i haven't found a good way to make it appealing yet.

good thing it's not a holiday book; A Gamer's Alphabet is good all year-round, yes? ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85506#Comment_85506 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85506#Comment_85506 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 03:35:06 -0500 chris ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85507#Comment_85507 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85507#Comment_85507 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 03:35:32 -0500 chris chris said...mick, you need to edit the first post in this thread now - subect should change, too. put some pictures and links, etc. come on, hurry up! ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85543#Comment_85543 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85543#Comment_85543 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:14:06 -0500 mick

Raising awareness FTW.


I was surprised that Kotaku said the book was for children, instead of in the style of a children's alphabet book, but it is family friendly. ;) I still say that Skyler handled "teabagging" with grace and class. ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85722#Comment_85722 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85722#Comment_85722 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:55:56 -0500 mick

i was thinking someone else might be champing at the bit.....

we'd need more terms for some of the letters. E, I, O, Q, Y, J, U, V, X, Z spring to mind. it was hard coming up with at least 2 choices for several of those.

i really was thinking of Volume 2 of A Gamer's Alphabet. the other things are fun, but the added purpose of bunny support and IS awareness really made the little book feel worthwhile.

chris, what did you mean by "widened slightly"? i'm intrigued.

time for another discussion. :)

if we start discussing it soon, there may be something to work on in a few months. who knows?

i've thought of a couple of different approaches. i hope others have, as well.

we do good work, my friends. let's do it some more.

or other way around, for that matter - might work either way.

to push the envelope a little bit - make it so that no matter from where you start: the begining or the end of the book and start flipping through the pages, you get something inspired/coming out of a previous thing, like a picture/word loop.
somehow.

ie. in the middle there's marissa/fairfax and whichever way you go - left or right - there are words and pictures connected with her/him.
so no matter where you start - you always have marissa right in the center - which for me works as a nice, albeit simple, idea of our work revolving around the main theme, of her being the focus point...

just a thought, might be expanded, simplified, worked to something completely different... i just want to write something for her... ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85956#Comment_85956 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85956#Comment_85956 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:56:13 -0500 be-jot it's gonna be a challenge, but fuck it's gonna be worth it...
i also spoke with two friends of mine, my co-workers, who got hooked on doing some graphics, so there should be a couple of hands more to get the job done. ]]> A Gamer's Alphabet_ WE DID IT !! http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85976#Comment_85976 http://www.fazyluckers.com/discussion/4550/?Focus=85976#Comment_85976 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:57:21 -0500 mick
