In this meeting Chris Fields was filmed talking about the themes we had thought about for the publication.
We discussed that the contents could be...
- Day Service/ Users- Storied
- Recent History & Refurbishments
- Volunteers (marketing for the crypt)
- Staff- motivations, osmosis, coming from being a service user
- Inspirational/ Aspirational- good news
- Training- cooking/ gardening/ opera north/ lac
- Womens Stories (part of 1)
- Offenders (part of 1)
- Partnership Working (myth busting)
- Future- big vision
- Introduction/ Welcome (not a soup kitchen)
- Faith in Action
- What to do about beggars
- Where has the homeless come from
- Poverty
- Welfare State
- Politics
- Success- measure of success
AIM:
To enthuse the younger generation and connect
promote the crypt and their ethos
continuity and honesty
changing the view of homelessness
Need a contemporary view for the future
What is our idea of safety? in comparison
The book, posters and other promotional materials?
Not just British, asylum seekers, refugees etc
ground rules- no violence towards any one staff or resident
Police Partnership
Donations of consumables- food, clothing
keywords & thoughts
Sale price of the book ??
needs a call to action- just giving link?
the idea of us giving up something non-essential, what can we do?
What stops us from donating to humans over animals
who is your god? who is your rock? who would you turn to?
it takes 1month to completely break down
could tie in with corporate appreciation event and world homeless day in October.
Ideally completed by July.
Page count needed
All of this information was discussed at the meeting some of the notes are thoughts of my own. I felt like at this meeting we where beginning to get into the actual design of the book and it made me think about some ways in which the book could be more interesting and how it could be designed.
In the evening we all received an email from Ed Rider who is managing the project between us and the Crypt.
This meant that I could start designing the book which I was really excited about and I wanted to get the project moving and for us to really get an idea of what each others roles would be and how involved I and Sam Cook would be in the design on the book, as we had put ourselves forwards as the graphic design role.
I was also excited for the fact that we would be using images and text from various sources and I had never done a live project like this, I think that it will increase my awareness of what can be achieved and the organisation of a charity design project.
