[timmyman]

love it :)

 

[grini]

I have a question about the cover. What size should it be? I worked on a bigger size (front cover = A4) so I can later adjust it.

 

[sacriface]

Great team work, it went quite fast thanks to networking :)
I will be able to send in the images within next 24 hours. Just a bit of a busy period right now, hope that is ok!

 

[shellycheval]

First, many thanks to all of you who have contributed to this awesome project

To answer Grini--small enough to carry around easily, but not so small that the font is difficult for us old people to read please.
maybe something about 4.5 inches by 6.5, or 5 by 7 or so?

The title is great--succinct and spot on to our purposes.

I know this is a minor point but when we refer to in conversation

are we calling it a FOTCM handbook or study guide?

Let's not attach the "B" word to it--too "religiousy"

Thanks again to all involved--can't wait to buy at least two copies.

I'll let you know once formatting starts and we decide on a size.

If it should get printed (bookbinding), doesn't need the bookcover also a spine?

That will be added once the dimensions are known. (And if it's under a certain page count, no, the printers recommend not having a spine.)

Yes, once again a big big thanks to all! This is just so awesome, so needed and so appreciated - very folks.

Indeed, THANK YOU very much.

Whenever I'm away I get this unpleasant feeling of disconnection with the forum, and the longer I'm away the stronger the feeling. But from now on this little booklet will be with me all the time :D

Indeed! It's been a very busy few weeks so I've had that same feeling of disconnect from the forum. But a booklet to have as a reminder of the bigger picture would be amazing! Much appreciated to all involved

 

[loreta]

I have been following this thread for some time now and I must give thanks also to those involved in putting this project together. The book looks great and I can't wait to get my hands on one! Two thumbs up you guys!

I second this. Congratulations.

 

[sacriface]

Here are the supposedly better images for "Faith" to choose.

I would like to ask whom it may concern, though, to choose from these (or take the old one, or make me do better:) ) images one that would work best.
The problem is that all former images look better 'simplified' in Illustrator, but this one seems to have too much detail and it gets kind of messy. But since the book doesn't have one unified style of images in it, maybe it would do no harm to keep that one in pixels and the rest in vector..

And the choice broadens between the armchair with, or without the back.

If anyone would care for an advice here, it would be really appreciated because all images should be already sent

sorry for delay &thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone for their work, it's great!
I have yet to read this thread, but I was thinking of a theme for #7) KEEPING VIGILANT AGAINST PSYCHIC ATTACKS if there is still time.

Something similar to the image below where a man walks alone in the forest with a book (knowledge) under his left hand and a flower (kindness) in his other hand. Surrounded by the forest (the unknown) and maybe some angry wolves and/or creepy trees (unexpected attack)

Basically he has his book and the flower and walks vigilantly but without worry, calm yet aware.

I was doing a sketch but I'm slow and not very good with computer programs. If anyone likes to take it further, that would be nice. FWIW


added : I love all the artwork done here and the quotations and all, it's inspiring, and the hole project is inspiring. Love it!
