Talking with @markoprljic he was saying that we may need more a graphic designer? Anyone know anyone :-D?

markoprljic commented 3 years ago

@josiprajevic confirmed he'd help. I'll coordinate further.

liviade1 commented 3 years ago

it looks great @josiprajevic!! I really like the clean design and the waves flow! thanks for taking this on 🙌 My only feedback is the text disposition. I'm not sure what could change. Maybe is just about making the words a little bit bigger. @ataberkcasur what do you think?

jessicazartler commented 3 years ago

Wow!!!! Looks awesome @josiprajevic !!!

Just a few notes for discussion before we finalize as well:

@liviade1 I think generally for academic papers the text is even smaller but we don't have to be in that style and agree bigger text could be easier to look at.. depends how academic we want to look generally = to small text size haha

Two requested additions pending discussion:

1) Final page -- CS a little bigger or bold + choose/add social media/links to the right hand side for website/Discord/other CTAs that are appropriate

2) A Creative Commons license or attribution -- we have discussed but have not reached a conclusion -- will discuss in the Comms meeting today -- here are some previous discussions from Telegram:

Hey @GriffGreen @Krisjones what was the final verdict on attribution or CC licensing?

FROM PREVIOUS CONVOS:

Griff Green, We are generally copy left... GPLv3 for code and yeah i don't know if we have ever done a CC license... the question is with or without attribution... i'm down for either personally... @Krisjones @Gfriis @JessicaZartler @krrisis or anyone else... have you had these debates before?

Kris Jones, [02.11.20 15:16] [In reply to Griff Green🌱] I did look into this a bit when I had to choose how my thesis was published. I would have to check, but a general copy left statement and some version of a creative commons license would sound right to me. Without attribution is probably fine, because unless we want to be litigous about it, with attribution is somewhat toothless. People are more likely to attribute anyway IMO.

Kris Jones, [02.11.20 15:18] I generally like to push it into builders/remixers hands to see what they can produce rather than try to worry about attribution, as a personal preference

Jess, Saw this for licensing the other day on Prime DAOs materials - perhaps we can adopt this? Legal question for @lorelai and lawyers? https://ecosystem.daoincubator.org/fractalizing/ CC license

jessicazartler commented 3 years ago

@GriffGreen is requesting also a second version with inverting colors -- black background with white text to have the dark mode option lol @Jeff-Emmett said this is hard for people who will print it out... Leave it to @krisjpi to decide CC license/CTAs/final edits

markoprljic commented 3 years ago

I advise def not dark bg, because of printing and because of readability. @josiprajevic is an expert in print design, should give his feedback on this.

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

I made two versions. Dark background for digital use and white for printing so you can use both for what ever purpose you need. Text is little bigger (around 20%). I can add CC licensing any time if you want. Also when we agree on design I will make google doc or any other word alternative version so you can change anything you want when you want. @GriffGreen @liviade1 @jessicazartler @markoprljic Booklet-The Commons Stack Praise System-A Case Study-vers2-dark.pdf Booklet-The Commons Stack Praise System-A Case Study-vers2.pdf

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

@liviade1 looks awesome! Should we consider adding some visuals, (praise dish sheet glimpse), (highest praise receivers list in the newsletters), ( a screenshot from the intro stage of the weekly synch recording) etc?

jessicazartler commented 3 years ago

@josiprajevic @markoprljic what is the best way to have this as template so we don't need to bother you guys every time we need a change? Just a PDF editor or is there any other way you would recommend? Thank you for all your work on this!

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

@jessicazartler I can make template in google document or any other word alternative version so you can change anything you want. It would be good to have some visuals so I can design how to use them in future. Also I hope that I could be useful to this community in future too for any kind of graphic design and also photography if needed. Just ask.

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

@jessicazartler for this design I used InDesign but that is expensive professional tool. I can convert him to any thing you want and regularly use

Jeff-Emmett commented 3 years ago

@josiprajevic a google doc template would be SUPER awesome! Thanks so much for this template, it's beautiful!

jessicazartler commented 3 years ago

@ataberkcasur if you have a few samples for the praise Josi can make them look cool and have a template for these as well ☝️ if you want to give a sample or two... thanks Josi the templates will get lots of eyes :D

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

@jessicazartler @josiprajevic will get on it tomorrow!

GriffGreen commented 3 years ago

Sweet! @josiprajevic... make sure to work with @ataberkcasur on this... the rest of us have lots of ideas... but he is the one putting his name on it. :-D

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

Hey @josiprajevic! I just completed a google drive which includes 6 images + a google doc that has the related location for each image and an explanatory. Sorry for not getting back sooner.

It seems like there is an abundance of images (6) for different aspects of the Praise. I am not sure how they they will look, will they be cramped or not. Or if we should include some of them at the end somewhere like the relevant documents.

Second thing is one of the images include a screenshot of the community call. Is that a problem @GriffGreen that people's faces are displayed? I guess not, since they are already visible on YouTube. But just wanted to check.

Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KQ1kBqOUucRf8woSQN8VLaUlsk6R4-F9/view?usp=sharing

Let me know what you think!

tamarandom commented 3 years ago

Hey @ataberkcasur Did you mean to link to a folder with the 6 images inside? The above link only goes to a single image with no way to navigate to the parent directory.

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

Does this work? @tamarandom

tamarandom commented 3 years ago

🙌🏼 Perfectly !

Jeff-Emmett commented 3 years ago

Hey Ata, I wanted to surface this kumu map created of Commons Stack Praise (probably a few months out of date at this point), but I figured it would be awesome to include a visualization of the praise dished in this case study as well!

https://kumu.io/jeffemmett/commons-stack-praise

If interested to include, I'd be happy to talk to the map creator (Danilo from BlockScience) and see if it's possible to update.

Jeff

Booklet - 1- dark - with pictures.pdf I put pictures in dark template. If this works for you you I will make google doc template. I did research on google doc design possibilities and they are pretty rudimentary but I will try my best to get similar result to this pdf.

@ataberkcasur @jessicazartler @griffgreen @jeffemmett

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

Thanks @josiprajevic , looks good! I have some feedbacks on the positioning, some seems to cut off a paragraph into two, but I guess that's why you are making the google doc right? to edit them. Also, would be better to have explanatory texts under images smaller and not bold, in my opinion.

One more thing! I added one more image, if you could integrate it into the cover page, that would be cool :) it is in the drive, titled "Praise COVER IMAGE". Thanks a lot!

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

@ataberkcasur Is this right :) Booklet - 2- dark - with pictures and cover.pdf

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

@josiprajevic :)))))))))))

Looks awesome! Thank you so much, was a great idea to edit the meme the way you did.

@liviade1 @GriffGreen @Jeff-Emmett what are your thoughts with the images displayed? If positive, should we move on to the next step in terms of integrating the updated text with this template?

Jeff-Emmett commented 3 years ago

Amazing stuff @ataberkcasur and @josiprajevic!

A few points from my end:

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

Booklet - 3- dark - with pictures.pdf @Jeff-Emmett Here it is

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

Hi @josiprajevic , the praise case study draft is complete now. Can you prepare the booklet with the latest format with the Booklet -3 format you recently shared, and we can move forward in steps to publishing it?

This is the latest version: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12R2gPN49sLMG6B_mJnvKrzmtZz_AGDQMM09Vv9X04Zw/edit#heading=h.3g1bjyjfqo9r

Jeff-Emmett commented 3 years ago

Thanks @josiprajevic, this template looks great! Congrats @ataberkcasur on all the hard work as well!!

For content in the license section, we can probably write something along the lines of:

"This Commons Stack Case Study is part of a larger effort by the Commons Stack project to provide detailed analysis and reports on lessons learned from deploying the Commons Stack design pattern to individual Commons deployments.

This publication is licensed under ... < license details to be completed here >"

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

@ataberkcasur @Jeff-Emmett Latest light and dark version. Just need to finish licence section (in latest version there was no pictures) Booklet - 4- dark.pdf

Booklet - 4- light.pdf

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

@josiprajevic thanks! could you also incorporate the visuals in the text just like the previous one? If you can share it in editable format we can leave our comments on it too to make your job easier, but that's your call :) The visuals are still in the google drive I shared, nothing should have changed for those with the latest version

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

Hi @josiprajevic. Just for the heads up, I added one more visual to the drive:

GriffGreen commented 3 years ago

@josiprajevic @ataberkcasur The License should be Creative Commons with Attribution :-D - "CC By"

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

Booklet - 5- dark.pdf Booklet - 5- light.pdf

@ataberkcasur @Jeff-Emmett - Here is pdf version. Editable format will be Google docs and it will be done in the next few days.

ataberkcasur commented 3 years ago

Looks great!!

One note: there are two visuals after "The quantification process is transparent and can be tracked by anyone in the spreadsheet." The explainer text for the second (last) visual there is the same as the first one.

The last one should be: "The highest Impact Hour receivers are visible to the community through a dashboard shared in the TEC biweekly newsletters."

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

@ataberkcasur Thank you. I think that I corrected that mistake 10 min after uploading pdf. Please download and check again. @Jeff-Emmett Here is google docs - first version https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JcKwaHfbFFtriBiFM1J--sCT2ErGYNXZUqWEsGVCjaI/edit?usp=sharing

Jeff-Emmett commented 3 years ago

Super cool @josiprajevic, thanks for making these templates accessible for future case studies as well!

@ataberkcasur if there is nothing else from your side on case study updates, I would be happy to forward them to the CS comms team (@krisjpi @jessicazartler) to get the case study loaded on our website and into our content distribution pipeline. Let me know if there are any final changes on your end 🙏

GriffGreen commented 3 years ago

@josiprajevic @ataberkcasur I made a few changes... all very small, mostly around capitalization... and I would love to get rid of the "the" in front of Commons Stack.. it is fine in the pictures... but the cover page has a "The" and i cant get rid of it.

GriffGreen commented 3 years ago

Thank you @Jeff-Emmett for getting rid of the THE!!!

GriffGreen commented 3 years ago

I think we can remove CS from the title (the branding and logos are every where... i think people will figure it out that it's from us) ;-) Also it would be nice to make it clear that its part of a series....

PROPOSED NAME CHANGE

Token Engineering Commons Case Study Part 1: Praise

josiprajevic commented 3 years ago

@GriffGreen Double click on the cover page. That will open new window name drawing. Title is white so you can´t see him but try to click and select in the place where he is positioned and you will find him there. After you change what you want just save and close. Google docs are not design friendly :)

Jeff-Emmett commented 3 years ago

I updated the license and titles throughout - this is good to go on my end!
image

@josiprajevic if you can convert this updated google doc into the dual column PDF, I think we are good to host that on our website and start the distribution process! (Is there an easy way to get this to print out in the dual column PDF, or does that require some special design tools/skills? Just curious!)

Booklet - 6- dark.pdf @Jeff-Emmett hera it is, in two colum, to make that i have to make all in Adobe Indesign. Sorry about delay. Laptop issues. I hope that I helped.
