8th meeting - 4th February 2009

Hi guys,
Here's what we discussed yesterday:

Introduction: If possible we'd like a general introduction that can go at the beginning of both sides of the book followed by a section that is specific to lust and love respectively. The tone should be serious but definitely have a light touch.

Title: Do we still want some sort of subtitle? Should we have a "logo" with love and lust where "love" or "lust" is highlighted for the respective sections? Is it "Love and Lust", "Love vs Lust", "Love/Lust"...?

Our company: So far we agreed that it's a publishing house that does arty books, maybe the kind of gift books you'd find in Urban Outfitters. Any more thoughts on that?

With a size of 270x270 cms per page will we be able to print the cover at the college? As it is one illustration for both covers it might be too big for the digital printer at LCC.

We still need a name for our publishing company and a definite title. Suggestions to be posted on the blog.


Oh, and I talked to Gill today. We definitely have to include distribution and marketing stuff, but we don't have to go through the whole thing in detail. She said it'd be enough if we explain how we'd go about the whole thing. For example we could approach a bigger publisher with a similar list and ask if they would be willing to do distrbibution for us. Gill said that would most likely work out cheaper than getting our own distrbiution chanel. In terms of marketing she said we just have to make sure we think about our audience but we don't need an all planned out marketing strategy.

See you all tomorrow,
