Below is the invite I posted for my last layout party. This will be explained as your read further. I will be advertising in a number of forums, so apologises to those who bounce between many. You will see a thread I have included at the bottom of the invite to our last party so you can peruse at your own pleasure as you make up your mind whether to join in. I can say, that everyone in all the parties have had a good time.
This one will be called: Beach Blanket Layout Party.
Okay,
I know you’re out there. Yeah you, and you, and you with the potato chip hanging off your lip and the half drunk coke sitting beside you…lol. I know you’re not working on your layout as much as you hoped to. Well what I am proposing is a layout party for a 6 week period - a layout design self help group.
The purpose of the group is to encourage others to get out of their armchair and do some more work on the layout. And also to motivate you (and me) to do more work on our layout. I am hoping we can get a small group (but no one will be rejected) of people who will be committed to posting their work on the layout from the following week. This means for 6 weeks you are committed to posting once a week (or more – several did). We will of course congratulate those who work on their layout, and encourage those who haven’t.
Rules:
-
Brief description of your layout to present, with what you want to accomplish in the next 6 weeks (don’t make it grandiose is my recommendation).
-
Brief description of what you hope to accomplish in the next week.
-
A commitment to posting once a week describing what you have or have not done. It is important to report if you have “fallen off the wagon (not worked on the layout” so that we can see all are human here, and that we can encourage you). You can include pictures, problems you have encountered, get bragging rights around the cooler, etc. I’m looking for you to walk the walk, as well as talk the talk.
