Today I've been focusing on the content of my info pack so I can make a start on researching and collating all the information I want to feature. To be honest I didn't really know where to start or what to include so I wrote a list of everything I could possibly think of along with other bit out of books and on the web. I then narrowed it down to what I thought was more specific to the concept of my info pack. Below is the post it note map I made of the contents, it isn't a definitive list though. I will probably add and subtract as I'm research, it's more of a guide as to where to begin researching and giving me structure during this process.
Because I'm focusing for print on paper certain categories are limited to what they're going to contain such as format and stock. This will aid my research process because it's focused down and not a vast broad range of stocks, which could be a never ending list because you can now print onto most things.
