Week 1 Accomplishments

This week Leslie and Jon got our Blog and MySpace set up with information on our group and our goal (creating a reference guide).  Grant, as the genius behind the idea and our leader, has put together our action agenda.  Together, Grant and Jon have been looking into publishing options at local stores around town and also online.  Leslie has been gathering gourmet recipes to prepare with the tasty subjects.  Gathering support and friends for this endeavor will be an on-going process throughout the project.

Action Agenda

Week one

Grant was told to secure a domain name “eat vegans.com” this was postponed until we have content . Also researched the possible methods of publishing the book. Different sites offer ways to upload your own content and have them publish the book directly to outlets and stores online. Lulu http://www.lulu.com/en/?cid=eng_brand&gclid=CMT7soPQ_ZgCFQHHGgodT3YHna

Also was charged with the responsibility of creating visual assets to be used as logos and illustrations.

Leslie created the blog and researched a possible recipes to be published in the recipe section of the book. Currently our web mistress, and will be writing the html for the website when we purchase the domain.

Jon put together the MySpace account and researched reference for illustrations as well as additional methods of publishing. He also looked into the advertising options we might employ.

The Pitch

Eat Vegans is a coalition of students at The Art Institute of Las Vegas: Grant Griffard, Jon Kaplan, and Leslie Vannasdale, who are dedicated to developing a history and reference guide for eating those who call themselves Vegans. This handy household guide will include diagrams, recipes, and nutritional information that will have you coming back to it again and again.
