[Deptheads] Convention Booklet

[Robert Lionheart]

Not really unfortunately. 
   
  GenCon's site should be much better and far more friendly.  The Origins site is better, but feels a bit hokey.  DunDraCon's site might as well be a BBS board from 1988.  PolyCon has a nice clean site, but not notable.   KublaCon is a good site - especially their game search engine. 
   
  I have not visited many con sites from Back East - anyone know of a good convention website worth emulating?

  Rob — is there a site from another convention that you’ve seen and liked?  Just curious if we can emulate.

  We need to hire a professional designer and pay them money to create a template of a convention book we can use for future conventions.  Preferably, we should hires someone who has designed con books for other types of shows.   
  
 
  
I also think we need a GUI/graphics designer to work on the look of the website.   We have good solid functions, but it is not interesting to look at.   This will probably involve buying some art or getting some nice clipart.

  I agree wholeheatedly. Now is the time to plan this. As I've now got direct control of producing this, I'd say we decide what we want to do. Chris, your digest just got longer ;-)
