TEDxManitoba 2012 Technical Report

Posted on by

I’ve been quite busy over the past few weeks wran­gling all the tech­ni­cal aspects of TEDx­Man­i­toba 2012, which took place this past Feb­ru­ary 9th. Being a part of the steer­ing com­mit­tee for the event was an incred­i­ble expe­ri­ence, as was work­ing with my crew in my posi­tion as tech­ni­cal lead. I was also for­tu­nate to make a num­ber of new con­nec­tions and friends through the expe­ri­ence — as well as, of course, hear­ing some fan­tas­tic ideas worth spread­ing. After the event went so well, I wanted to write up a quick overview of how we pulled off the day’s tech­ni­cal aspects so I could give credit where credit is due. (Lost? Read up on TEDx Events.)

Click to enlarge, etc. The thing to know — which explains the front of the card — is that they’re not printed on standard-sized busi­ness card stock, but on 150-lb tag, cut to 3“x5”. Index card size. The dot­ted line is actu­ally a per­fo­ra­tion, so a standard-sized busi­ness card can be detached from the index card. When I flip the card over, it’s designed to write on the back, either hor­i­zon­tally or ver­ti­cally. Detach­ing the standard-sized busi­ness card leaves the knight logo aligned in the cor­ner on the back. For good mea­sure (and atten­tion to detail), the heav­ier lines on the grid are exactly ½”.
