I received your slides and normally I would have been able to put them into the presentation but — crazy turns of events — power was off at my house for most of the AM! 13:57:59 From Aaron Schmidt to All panelists : I was just about to leave the house to try to find wifi / cell service when the power came back on 13:58:10 From Regina Burgess to Sally Caldrone and all panelists : From Aaron: Hi Sal!

My audio sounds clear. You may need to log in again or call in. 14:04:59 From Arlene Haessler : I know young adults that can't read cursive writing 14:05:15 From Lauri Rebar : I had thought of that too regarding cursive. 14:05:18 From Courtney Holtzman : Redesign looks great! 14:05:19 From Arlene Haessler : Really great new design! 14:05:40 From Arlene Haessler : when and where up front 14:05:42 From Olivia Shaff : Redesign looks really nice! 14:05:46 From Sally Caldrone to All panelists : thanks Regina. storms in the area... 14:05:47 From Lauri Rebar : How can these students read the Declaration of Independence if they can't read cursive? 14:05:48 From Emmaline Massaglia : Thanks, everyone! I had to track down the CSLP logo from 2016 to pull this off 14:06:13 From Lauri Rebar : I love this new design 14:07:45 From Sally Caldrone : Maybe center the "of the " but very nice looking. 14:07:51 From Lauri Rebar : Where would you put text in there for a particular event date, if you had an event? 14:07:56 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : That’s a good point about the yellow stripe! 14:07:58 From SHARRON CUNNINGHAM : I like both 14:08:09 From Jules Bailey : Yes, it was for a display 14:08:18 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : I love that fist with the transparency. Very striking 14:08:47 From Jules Bailey : I might add it in the middle in darker font for contrast and then make the 50th anniversary thing smaller 14:09:02 From Jules Bailey : I don't think it would work to move the colors because they're in a particular order on the flag 14:09:12 From Lauri Rebar : Or black text on the bottom? 14:09:30 From Lauri Rebar : @Jules - these both look great! 14:09:42 From Jules Bailey : Thanks! 14:09:43 From Emmaline Massaglia : you could left-justify for 50th anniversary and then right-justify date and location if needed 14:10:26 From Courtney Holtzman : The Office is my favorite show! But...I didn't think it was the best sign. :D 14:11:03 From Olivia Shaff : Nice!! 14:11:06 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : adorable 14:11:14 From Pam Johnson : I like the positive message on these two 14:11:34 From Sally Caldrone : Much better. 14:11:37 From SHARRON CUNNINGHAM : no matter what sign you use it is hard to get people to clean the kitchen 14:11:42 From Lauri Rebar : I would never have thought of moving from the Dwight meme... I like the 2nd version that is off center better. 14:11:49 From Sharon Payton to All panelists : very good 14:12:10 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Sorry, I lost connection 14:12:13 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : I made it! 14:12:17 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Using Illustrator. 14:12:17 From SHARRON CUNNINGHAM : "Me" is Sharron by the way. I did not know how to put my name up there 14:12:47 From Lauri Rebar : I'm in awe of your talent to make the bowl, Courtney! 14:12:49 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Yes, I needed the practice so it was a good excuse. Thank you for the feedback! 14:14:17 From Lauri Rebar : I like the light shadow of the box in the new version. 14:14:20 From Sarah Berrian to All panelists : yes, my director wanted it in bold 14:14:40 From Brian Smith : I feel like the library logo should be on there. 14:14:40 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : I like the box! 14:15:12 From Mo Curley : they took out the number equivalent for READ 14:15:14 From Sarah Berrian to All panelists : it’s a slide for our website so we wouldn’t necessarily need the logo on there 14:15:17 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Yeah, I do think logo might be a good touch. 14:15:18 From Mo Curley : it looks less busy 14:15:21 From Mo Curley : very nice 14:15:25 From Emmaline Massaglia : The font weight is heavier which makes it easier to read! 14:15:32 From Melissa Gibbs : could do the bold temporary ecard in a dark purple to make it stand out more 14:15:51 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Lovely color. :) 14:16:10 From Melanie Solon to All panelists : want a library card? 14:16:21 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Much better overall - nice job! 14:17:24 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : Yes they are 14:17:27 From Sally Caldrone : locations should be in a column? 14:18:02 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : hillsborough forgives you :) 14:18:50 From Lauri Rebar : I have problems with seeing part of a library branch name on two different lines. I like the 2nd version for the library locations. 14:19:03 From Sally Caldrone : Looks better, but font too large for left side content 14:19:18 From Sally Caldrone : or I should say not size but a bit wordy 14:19:51 From Jules Bailey : Could this be a dual-language sign or do you have an alternate in another language? I think that would be nice unless there are too many languages spoken in your area for that to be feasible. 14:19:51 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : Yes, it was Canva’s default. Got it! 14:19:52 From Pam Johnson : I wonder why the topic - practice English Conversation Weekly is at the bottom? 14:19:59 From Lauri Rebar : What program was used to make these signs? 14:20:09 From Sally Caldrone : Agree! 14:20:13 From Jules Bailey : I'm going to guess Canva 14:20:20 From Jules Bailey : If I'm right I get bragging points 14:20:24 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : Yes, Canva 14:20:55 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Pam - might be because of the conversation corners. I think it goes together. But might be confusing. 14:21:25 From Lauri Rebar : So maybe there are other locations besides the four locations noted where these weekly conversation practices are taking place? 14:21:28 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : thank you! 14:21:29 From Arlene Haessler : I think if the 4 new locations and 11 corners was a bit smaller as well. switching might work too 14:22:11 From Arlene Haessler : yes! 14:22:48 From Lauri Rebar : These are printed out double-sided as 1/2 sheets handoutts 14:22:56 From Sharon Payton to All panelists : Sharon yes 14:23:04 From Sally Caldrone : Helps those that English is second language. I like the images...good size 14:23:32 From Emmaline Massaglia : We know people don't like to read! Having icons to go with text will help poor readers understand as well! 14:24:21 From Lauri Rebar : I appreciate the comments from all. 14:24:41 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : Much better! 14:24:57 From Olivia Shaff : Very straightforward and nice to look at. Good job Lauri. :) 14:25:16 From Jennifer Corbin : that's a hot mess! 14:25:24 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : LOL, Jennifer, it is 14:25:42 From Jennifer Corbin : you can insert things into this sign 14:26:22 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : I love that the redesign has the logo on the bottom - looks more professional 14:26:27 From Jennifer Corbin : no one knows who Mr. Moreland is! 14:26:38 From Sally Caldrone : Very clean and clear! 14:26:51 From Lauri Rebar : The difference in highlighting the study room rather than the name of the funder is huge! 14:27:03 From Pam Johnson : Just FYI - different spelling on the first sign of Morland than second 14:27:06 From Sharon Payton to All panelists : Sharon I think the words could have been a different color might have help. 14:27:08 From Olivia Shaff : Looks much better. 14:28:07 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : I love the revision! 14:28:08 From Olivia Shaff : Wow! 14:28:13 From SHARRON CUNNINGHAM : much better! 14:28:14 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : That is really nice 14:28:26 From Lauri Rebar : I like #2 better. The only thing I would do differently would be add a spaced between the time and the am and pm that follow the time. 14:28:45 From Courtney Holtzman to All panelists : The text really takes over the first one. Second is much cleaner. 14:29:52 From Lauri Rebar : Was the film flowing out crafted by hand or was it part of the original graphic you got? Or did you create the entire visual by hand? It looks great! 14:30:19 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : The graphic came from the person before me 14:30:25 From Sally Caldrone : attractive 14:30:37 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : I did! 14:30:40 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : Foreverrrrrrr 14:30:55 From Melissa Gibbs : I can’t see all of the chat info 14:30:57 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : I wanted to do full “October, 24, 2019" 14:31:03 From Emmaline Massaglia : Would FSU and UNESCO need their logos included? 14:31:06 From Laura Keeble to All panelists : It's easier on the eyes 14:31:08 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : But I couldn’t make it fit and still look attractive 14:31:23 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : For FSU its at our discretion 14:31:43 From Jules Bailey : Sometimes there are restrictions on using other org's logos 14:31:55 From Lauri Rebar : bottom left side for the logos? 14:31:58 From Pam Johnson : Would centering the World Day for text work just as well or do you always prefer left justification? 14:32:17 From Jules Bailey : Ran into that recently when I was making an info sheet--glad I thought to look up the use policy for the logos 14:32:21 From Sally Caldrone : maybe bottom left 14:32:41 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : I could probably do a small byline at the bottom 14:32:50 From Courtney Holtzman : Everyone did great! 14:33:03 From Olivia Shaff : Great job everyone! 14:33:09 From Sally Caldrone : agree! 14:33:17 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : yes, everyone’s after was improved! 14:33:26 From Lauri Rebar : What are most people using to create their graphics? 14:33:30 From Courtney Holtzman : Do you have any recommendations for further education on graphic design? 14:33:31 From Sally Caldrone : NOw this slide needs some work....kidding! 14:33:40 From Courtney Holtzman : Whoa - shade! 14:33:52 From Mo Curley : We use canva and adobe spark at our library 14:33:58 From Sally Caldrone : oh I did not see that! 14:34:01 From Olivia Shaff : What would you suggest when making flyers for kids events? 14:34:04 From Emmaline Massaglia : I always keep in mind when I'm designing things that people read things left to right top to bottom, so the most important info should be closer to left side 14:34:24 From Lauri Rebar : That book I so good that it's now in its 4th edition. 14:34:31 From Lauri Rebar : is 14:34:39 From Jules Bailey : I use Canva pretty much exclusively, sometimes in combination with powerpoint or word if Canva doesn't have a font or image I want 14:35:42 From Jules Bailey : Someone I work with used to use photoshop a lot but has switched over to Canva. Photoshop is obviously more advanced and will let you do a lot of stuff, but the learning curve for Canva is a lot lower and it depends on what sort of sign you want to make 14:36:07 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : We have Library Aware but we use Canva (which is really easy) 14:36:30 From Lauri Rebar : Thanks for the comments about what you are using. I have played with Canva but didn't want to have to spend $$ for it, and I have access to several other programs. 14:36:36 From Emmaline Massaglia : Making a style guide can be very helpful! 14:36:41 From Jennifer Corbin : I'm using Word because if people need to update a sign, I know they have access to Word. Not using any specialized fonts because not everyone has them. 14:37:44 From Sarah Berrian : In our library system, I’m in charge of all signs and flyers. 14:38:11 From Lauri Rebar : Aaron, when do you suggest all caps, like your first slide, versus using upper and lower case for some words? 14:38:28 From Gaby Gomez to All panelists : I'm graphic designer, I'm also in charge of everything related to that 14:38:54 From Diana Rodriguez to All panelists : Hi I’m sorry, I didn’t know where to send my submissions, but Courtney gave me your email and I just sent it. I understand if you don’t have the chance to see it though! 14:39:01 From Roberta Martin to All panelists : Will you repeat the websites you mentioned? 14:39:28 From Melissa Gibbs : All Caps 14:39:34 From Gaby Gomez to All panelists : All caps for sure 14:39:37 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : Both are good 14:39:47 From Emmaline Massaglia : All caps is good if you want your text to behave more like a "box", if you want your text to take up spaces that bleed out from a box (tails of g's and i's and stuff) do lowercase 14:39:52 From Jennifer Corbin : include QR codes on signs and flyers or no? 14:40:22 From Lauri Rebar : Good point, @ Emma 14:40:38 From Emmaline Massaglia : Thanks, @Lauri! 14:41:27 From Emmaline Massaglia : It's awful, and the kerning is bad! 14:42:23 From Sally Caldrone : Either will work...I agree 14:42:40 From Roberta Martin to All panelists : the designer program. I found the one for canva. 14:43:47 From Jules Bailey : I'm realizing now that a lot of the templates I use for presentations have all caps on the first page, and I think the ones that don't might be easier to read. 14:44:23 From Emmaline Massaglia : Yoga for teens was made in photoshop 14:44:33 From Lauri Rebar : We did a QR code tour of our library on multiple floors, and the only use it got was when we did instructional sessions and had students do the tour during the class and report back what they had seen and read about. 14:44:39 From Emmaline Massaglia : had to take out a busy background 14:45:35 From Emmaline Massaglia : I *did* pull the picture from canva and then manipulate it in photoshop though! 14:46:00 From Olivia Shaff : Thank you! This was very helpful. 14:46:11 From Gaby Gomez to All panelists : was a really good before/after, I though the submission was today I did mine but didn't send it sorry 14:46:11 From Lauri Rebar : I really got a lot from reviewing everyone's slides and thinking about the various options. 14:46:16 From Sharon Payton to All panelists : Sharon Thank you 14:46:17 From Courtney Holtzman : This was great - thank you for the class and critique! 14:46:27 From Diana Rodriguez to All panelists : Yes this was awesome! 14:46:30 From SHARRON CUNNINGHAM : good class. Thank you 14:46:31 From Sharon Payton to All panelists : Bye 14:46:31 From Diana Rodriguez to All panelists : Thank you! 14:46:32 From Lauri Rebar : Thank you! 14:46:32 From Jennifer Corbin : Thanks!! 14:46:32 From Tara North : Thank you! 14:46:37 From Melissa Nye to All panelists : Thank you! 14:46:38 From Emily McClellan to All panelists : Thank you! 14:46:39 From Emmaline Massaglia : Thanks! 14:46:43 From Arlene Haessler : thank you 14:46:49 From Sally Caldrone : Thank you! 14:46:54 From Arlene Haessler : bye 14:46:54 From Emmaline Massaglia : Stay safe!
