Fellow tiddlywikians,
Win $100 contributed, in your name, to the guidebook Inside TiddlyWiki -
the Missing Manual
<https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/inside-tiddlywiki-the-missing-manual>
by expert TW developer and expert TW educator Eric Shulman.
*...by designing a A4/letter sized poster that attracts people to
TiddlyWiki*
It should be ready for simple print out, with a common printer, to put up
on university billboards, in corporate lunch rooms, taped on the lab door,
public outdoor billboards, community houses, etc. This is a rare
opportunity to contribute to our community without being a programmer! Or a
spender for that matter ;-)
The competition will run December out and the winner will be announced
shortly thereafter and the prize will be transferred to the Inside
TiddlyWiki project. The grand jury is... well, let's just say it's as small
as it gets and highly subjective ;-)
Critera
- The purpose of the poster is to get the maximum number of new people
to try out TW.
Beautiful graphics, ugly sketches, 3-D tiddlers or 3-year toddlers - use
whatever it takes to get people to try TW. Ok, no profanity, false claims,
etc. The jury evaluates only perceived effectiveness at attracting people
to TW.
- www.tiddlywiki.com*/poster* - this url must be mentioned. They will be
met by the poster there with a link to tiddlywiki.com
- SVG format ideally, but if not available in your software then use
*jpeg*, *tiff* or *png* (unless some expert here objects). The idea is
anyone can print it on a common color printer but SVG is particularly good
for embedding on the website.
- Size - 210mm à 279mm (8.26" à 11") to work both for European (A4)
and North American (letter size) paper BUT you should probably include some
margin in this because printers often add this. Pure text typically has
25mm/1" margin.
Portrait or landscape does not matter.
- e-mail contributions to *boards.mm at gmail.com* with subject title
*Poster*
Yes, of course you can send in multiple different candidates! Maybe add a
black/white version? Not necessary to win, but good for TW. There is only
one winner but all contributions will be available for use in (only)
TiddlyWiki contexts.
Tips
A good framework for designing an effective poster is the well known AIDA
formula;
- get the *A*ttention ("catch the eye"),
- create *I*nterest ("hm, wiki what?"),
- create *D*esire ("...oh, I could use that for ... !")
- stimulate *A*ction ("I'm must go to tw.com now!")
It is my absolute belief that the most valuable contribution the majority
of us here can do is to get more members to our community. This is the
prerequisite for everything else, including more development.
...so get a pen and paper or switch over to that graphics software you've
got - now! ;-)
