Display the DoES Liverpool values on the wall in the space

[amcewen]

A couple of years back we got together as a community and wrote a set of DoES Liverpool values.

In the Theory of Change workshop that @Helen-8 and @zarino ran we refined them a bit and decided we should display them on the wall so that people could refer to them and new members could learn about them.

We should put them on the wall somewhere in the main room (and somewhere in the Events Room too?)

I think something around A1 seems a sensible size(?) and I note that we've now got a large printer...

A1 sounds quite large to me but maybe that’s the point. I should think we would want it to be framed or mounted in some way to ensure it looks nicely presented. For reference the existing clip frames around the space are (I think) A3. John

Hadn't spotted your message while I was fighting (not lots, but it's the first time I've used it) with the printer.

@JackiePease said one of my early experiments, which was ~43x53cm was too small (which I agree with) and that's basically A2.

I've printed two, which need trimming down a bit, at which point they'll be ~55cm x 70cm

(Production notes: they were printed from Firefox, with a custom paper size that was bigger than needed (as that's what I had set up), at 225%, and backgrounds set to print. I manually tweaked the top padding value of the body to 10em, and set the background of the html element to #fff)

Getting some frames sounds like a good idea. I hadn't worked out how to hang them yet 😁 Any thoughts on where we should source frames?

[amcewen]

I think these are a reasonable size (arguably we could go a bit bigger... maybe something to consider if cheaper frames are a different size and it makes more sense to get some bigger paper and re-print)

It'd be higher up when in a frame, but for now for safe-keeping they're held onto a flip-chart with some spare hard-drive magnets:

The snap frames we have around the space at the moment are these ones: https://www.ukpos.com/black-snap-frame-25mm-frame

That has A1 frames (the paper, having just checked is A1) for £17.50+vat. I think it'd make sense to get four, as then we can use two for #24 too.

I've ordered those, they should be with us Friday at the latest.

They have arrived. I've reprinted the posters to use the full size of the A1 paper (with @Robotorium's help), and there are now two copies in their respective clip-frames. Need to screw them to the walls, for now they're resting against the walls near to where we'd want to hang them.

Was printing another copy (to send to my mate who makes the Hannah Directories) and today's production notes were: print to a PDF (using the system print options, as that would let me pick A1 as the paper size) at 250% with the same background, etc. options as above. Then opened it in Inkscape and added a tiny 0.2mm x 0.045mm black line at the top before printing; that's so that the printer doesn't decide that the blank space at the top is something it should discard, which it was very insistent upon otherwise 😞
