So here is my idea. I would like to make a tour scrapbook/thank you book documenting this tour. I do a style of scrapbooking called Project Life and I think it would be awesome to create him a book for this tour.
How
it would work: I would provide the album and all the page protectors
and we could have all the fans on tour stops fill out 3x4 inch cards
with their thoughts for Brandon and maybe words of thanks for being the
awesome writer that he is. The cards just slip into the pockets and we
can also put some photos in it. I will put decorative elements on the
page related to the books too. I can make cards that are pretty simple
and I would have Radiant ideals on them and maybe allomantic symbols on
them and other graphical stuff from his other books.
I
think it would be really neat if on the first stop of the tour he
started getting some of these cards filled out from fans. He probably
won't know what to do with them. I can print pictures that are posted
on his Facebook page to slip into the album before the Seattle stop.
Once he gets to Seattle we can give him the album for all those cards
he has gathered already. At tour stops with 17th Sharders/people
participating, they can print out cards and hand them out to fans to
fill out to give to Brandon when they get their books signed. I can
even make cards ahead of time to send to bookstores if we coordinate
this right. For those who can't make it to a tour stop but still want
to be included, they can fill out a card, scan it and send it back to me
and I will print it out and include it in the book. By the end of the
tour, Brandon would have this scrapbook filled with thoughts and thanks
from the fans.
I
can scale the size of the album to how many people end up
participating. It would be a neat way to document his tour and an easy
way for fans to say thanks in a very compact size.
This blog post demonstrates what I am thinking but definitely more cool and hip but with messages from fans.
So
sound off in the comments if you would like to participate and fill out
a card. Also if you are a graphic designer, I could definitely use
some help designing cards and decorative elements for the album. When I
hand the album over to Brandon, I would of course give credit for all
the people who helped me out with the project. I would also love to
hear from people who can hand additional page protectors to Brandon if
needed.
