[Deptheads] Paperwork Layout Modifications

Hi All,

I ran a couple of tests with new sign-up sheets and post-game information for board games last con.

1. Payouts prefers the horizontal format. Boardgames patrons seemed to have no issues with the horizontal format.

I will be generating all sheets in horizontal format.

2. The event name needs to be the biggest print on the page, if possible.

I will be changing the layout to put on one line as small as legibly possible
Strategion Logo - Gamex 2012 - Department

Possibly even sideways down the short side of the paper. Does anyone have any issues with sideways for this info?

The convention and year is important to eliminate guesswork when looking at paperwork later.
Department just makes sense, and might even help the payouts crew.

3. It has been determined that using one piece of paper for both sign-up and post-game info is not the best, unless it all can fit on one side of an 8.5x11. That means some departments will get the combined info, others will have two separate sheets.

Boardgames - separate
RPGs - combined

I can guess at the other departments, but I'd rather each department let me know the maximum number of people who sign-up for an event? If only one event skews the numbers, please list is separately as a special case.

Please let us know if you see any issues with these changes for any specific department.

Thanks,

Tanya
