State of the Flapper
Well, it's now about 2 months since I began "The Lip Flapper"? Thanks for all the support. I really appreciate it! :3
Now, I'm currently about to begin midterms. Thankfully, "The Lip Flapper" has enough material to continue production during this time. Next week should be especially eventful [one post a day for our 4-part panel, as well as the Avatar Music Video Review on Friday!]?
However, post-midterms, I'm going to start implementing a few changes with the lip flapper to make it more user friendly (as well as to save a little time on my end as well)? The first big change is going to be that "The Lip Flapper" is going to begin being produced in a PDF format available for download. I feel like formatting the forum posts each week is becoming a hassle, and having an InDesign template that I can copy/paste each week will make this more easy. Plus, this will allow for easy reading on mobile devices as well as with saving copies should that interest you. I plan on formatting prior interviews in this format, but only once I've really gotten everything kicked off and running effectively. I'm still searching for a logo designer if anyone is interested!
I also plan to squash the idea for surveys. Unfortunately, my "test" survey did not go very well. It did not have enough data to be statistically relevant (I see this as a recurring issue), and I feel like it wouldn't make for a good editorial anyway.
While reviews, panels and interviews are currently the only 3 production plans at the moment, I have several plans in the future. None of these are in "perfect" planning condition at the moment, but I do think that they should be viable at the conclusion of Project OrgEditor Season 2 (when I will have time to properly dedicate to them)? Let's just say that they may involve YouTube if I can get the project off the ground and actually get editors to go through with it. [Luckily, I have Re-Evolution friends that may humor me long enough. XD] However, these will likely only be "monthly" editions due to their high level of production time required.
