1. Overall decisions to be made this week-
a. Figure out a book/zine/multi-page layout/pdf design project you want to work on.
b. Figure out a project you would like to fundraise on Kickstarter for (this can be your design project
above, or a completely separate project).
2. Kickstarter
a. Poke around the site and check out other projects.
b. Check out the "Starting your project" page and watch the video.
c. You may also sign in and create a profile by clicking on the "START your project" button.
d. Connect with Amazon payments in your project setup
e. If you start having ideas for perks, your promo video, your project write up for your Kickstarter
page, start jotting them down.
3. Figuring out cost$ related to the Kickstarter/Design project(s)
a. If you are printing your book, roughly figure out # of pages and price out how much it will cost to
print your book (remember to including shipping!)
b. list additional costs, i.e. any fees, food, travel, lodging, equipment. We can always size costs
down, so put everything down for now.

1. A campaign title
