Nice little lecture by the above, about their publication, "Coverless".

Although mainly aimed at getting FE's into HE, it had some interesting points about social media, "getting out there" and other points.

​Commercial aspects of the project 
Finance is an important element of this project. Ultimately, I have to think of a profit for the project, so it has had to include “Accounting” for the project to be taken into account.
 
Outgoings are:

  • Cost of producing the postcards.
    • Print costs.
    • Bulldog clip costs.
  • Cost of the website.
    • Domain registration.
  • Cost of the eBook.
    • Percentage to Amazon.
  • Social Media
    • Advertising on Facebook.
 
From this, the following figures came up (All prices are inclusive of VAT).
 
Postcard Printing (2200 Postcards = 100 booklets)
£185.64

Bulldog Clips (300)
£37.44

Domain registration (.co.uk – 2 years)
£14.00

Advertising on Facebook* (Variable)
£31.00

Cost on Kindle / Amazon**
£00.00

Total Expenditure:
£254.08

Therefore, the perceived outlay is £254.08 for the project. This is to produce (and hopefully sell) 100 booklets.
*The advertising cost is per month (£1.00 per day) but is subject to analysis on a weekly basis. Therefore, the maximum amount could be £356 if that level of advertising is maintained over a year.
** Kindle / Amazon take a large percentage of the eBook price, but this means there is no financial risk. If you sell none, there is no technical “loss” involved.
 
THEREFORE: To create a reasonable return on investment (ROI), a cover price for the printed version would be set at £7.99, which would show a profit of between £544.20 and £210.20, depending on advertising costs.

Out of Season - Mark Havens

Mark Havens visits WildWoods and photographs the dwindling facia of a downtrodden town. Sounds familiar?

His stark images have helped in the visualisation of (In particular) my imagery of the Bourneville Estate in WSM.

Wim Wenders Places, strange and quiet.

This was one of the more influential books I read with regards to "Weston Out Of Season."

He has a stark reality going on here. Momentary glimpses of desolation taken in between filming. I attempted to use this style in the "Beach" Element of my work.
