17.02.2023 - we grouped together based on or interests - creative entrepreneurship - and then created a group chat where we communicate and keep up with all the updates

Andreea, Arnas, Franek, Puck, Mateo, Sofia, Tijmen

Created a list of core values, twice. Our group has had changes in the begging which made us have 2 lists that we compared afterwards and worked with what we had in common.

20.02. 2023

Our first initiative choices were:

- PrinRoom - publishing, exhibitions, connection with people (book launches and other artists + diverse audience )
- Rauwkost - original vision, collective, autonomous makers
- Creative Youth - connection, ambient
- Fomo - open-minded community, self-expression, parties, trying to create a safe space

We discussed and listened to eachothers opinions about the initiative we have chosen and sticked to PrintRoom.

Prepared questions and met up with them, interviewed them.

Realised that the idea and information we got were vague and too general.

Worked in group to focus on our goal. upscaling.

6. 03 . 2023 - made a list of rules - how to work

- divided roles to be more organised

text team: Franek, Mateo, Sofia, Tijmen

each of the members still having individual tasks

- clarified again what our focus is. what are we looking for?

8. 03 . 2023 - made a video call to stable and fix some rules. Tijmen Franek, Mateo and Sofia worked on new questions for the initiative that are useful for the publication. furthermore, we emailed PrintRoom again for another interview .

10. 03 . 2023 - receievd questions about developing our tool, in our case, the booklet/publication

13 . 03 . 2023 - worked more on the publication, creating physical sketches, trying to picture it

- reviewed the questions again

- decided on the size of the publication - A5

16 . 03 . 2023 - 2nd interview took place with Natasha, the head was busy and we are running out of time :)

Interview was taken and made by Franek, Mateo, Sofia and Tijmen

- recorded the interview this time and divided in parts which will be the chapters of our publication.

- Sofia&Tijmen got advise with business owners they knew that helped a lot with forming the questions and ultimately the final text.

- made a questionnaire for the students to see what questions they have regarding upscaling that we or the initiative can answer to in our publication

From the 18th to 21st of March, everyone has started putting more work into the publication, respecting the roles each had, making the progress going pretty fast.

20 . 03. 2023

- Franek, Mateo, Sofia and Tijmen have been working on the text; the best structure & what information must it contain.

- Andreea, Arnas and Puck worked on the design and discussed about different ideas of how the design can look. They tried a riso print for the cover of the Publication.

Arnas did the illustrations; Puck worked on the design of the booklet and Andreea on the log, as well helping Puck with ideas for the design.

Introduction.

This log represents the working process of Some Real Business (SRB) composed of Andreea, Arnas, Franek, Puck, Mateo, Sofia and Tijmen in creating a publication. By reading it, you will notice the steps we took, along to which we added dates for a more clear overview of the time put in the process. It all started pretty vague, but eventually, together we built a clear way of what the publication should contain and how look like. Our main focus is SCALING, and the initiative we chose to help us with information is PrinRoom.

21 . 03 . 2023 - continued with the progress, adding a horoscope, done by Franek

Why did we choose this tool? The publication?

Most of us have been intersted into publishing and growing, and since PrintRoom does such thing, we thought it matches perfectly!

22 . 03 . 2023 - Puck, Arnas and Andreea have worked more on the design of the publication, coming up with an almost finished look of it

- they also tried riso prints on different coloured paper to see which one would fit best, as well ink.

23 . 03 . 2023 - working on the last details from text and design and putting the publication together

The entire process of the publication consisted in a lot of communication as well tries, as we tried to get a result everyone can be delighted with.

How did the process feel to us?

It definitely took some time by the time we managed to choose a path of what we want to do. It wasn't easy, nor too hard. :) What took time was understand everyone's opinion so we can get to one, common conclusion. We weren't always together, but communicating through messages helped a lot. What was also handy was having divided roles which made the process go pretty easy, as well no one felt too overwhelmed with their part.

Fun experience!
