Love the idea though. Use something far simpler. Otherwise well done, pretty sweet idea for all the super nubs. | ||

It's important to remember the context that handout is in, and not to think about it in isolation. People reading this are at a BarCraft, and they will see many things that will 'fill in' certain gaps not on the handout. Information about the pro-scene: This would be a good inclusion on the first page, but I'm hoping this can be gathered from the atmosphere they find themselves in. Why is a Bar showing SC2 if it wasn't huge, or growing? When the GSL is on and there are pans of a huge audience, it hopefully shows them that SC2 is considered a big deal. Marauder vs Zealot: Aye there's a lot of emphasis in this series of images for people to fill in gaps. I debated with myself for awhile what should go in those boxes, and the titles, and the motto that guided me is "People are pretty smart." One can see the marauder is shooting from range, and the running of the marauder away from the zealot indicates it's a melee-range unit (without having to explicitly mention it). Forcefields stopping unit movement is not inherently obvious, which is why the text in the second panel let's them know why the zealot has "closed the distance." The medivac lift/drop is, as you said, dubious to infer, but that's okay. They'll see it in play soon on the screens, and can go "Oh, so that's what that image is about", or nudge their friend for a quick explanation. Thanks for your comments, I hope my reasons justified my decisions to you On February 28 2012 22:20 Suc wrote: I really love this, but I can't help but feel that this won't be feasible for most barcrafts given how much colour and detail will have to be printed on every single pamphlet and not everyone will be able to get to get access to a good supplier to get it at a decent price. Apart from that though, great job! Another reason we kept it to a single A4 page. We trailed a "greyscale" version of the booklet but removal of colour makes the handout exceptionally dull : ( You may not be able to print many, but they are reusable (serve many BarCrafts!) and can be given out/collected/passed around/places on tables and you can get away with only having ~20-30 or so. It's a valid concern though. We'd like to be able to show a video instead for sure to solidify some of the more 'harder to explain' concepts and reduce the cost of production. I dislike your choice in background and your use of space. Love the idea though. Use something far simpler. There's not a lot of options out there for good backgrounds  Can you explain further what you mean by "use something far simpler"? It's really hard for me to place myself as a 'newbie' and see this from a different angle, so I'd love to hear what you have to say. ------------- I really appreciate all these different points of views, it can only get better from here. | ||

However, I think this is a great initiative, and everyone helping to make sc2 more casual gets a thumbs up in my book :D | ||

Edit: I can see that the background might be hard on the printing but I still like it. | ||
