Project/Activity Brainstorm
- The newsletter! Everyone wants to live in a Harry Potter world! Have fun being wizards and using creativity to change it up every meeting and distributing it around campus. People will
start to look forward to seeing what you publish next!
- Experimenting with some of our current book forms and making guides on how to create them for students that are new to the center and the book making process
- Visiting other press to see what we could use and incorporate into our own press in the future. Fieldtrip!
- Fundraisers to buy new fun materials for fancy book ideas. You could even sell some of the productions from here to raise this kind of money as we have done with some of our hardbound
books. Check with club benefits to see if material costs can be refunded for these materials.
- Making a scrapbook of all the things we have made here at the center for future project ideas and students first contact to publication possibilities.
- Bringing in new book forms that can be experimental and work through them with center material and potentially use them for new semester workshops.
- Reimagine/improve current book and print forms (whats really possible when creating a broadside?)
- Work on your own school projects during these meeting times that can also explore ideas the center can use
