== Feedback on workshop: ==

=== Were there questions left unanswered? ===

- no<br />
- no<br />
<br />


=== Were there topics you'd have like to see covered and weren't? ===

- i would have liked to do some more hands-on experimentation, using and experiencing the hybrid publishing workflow more directly. <br />
- I would have enjoyed having a go at trying something out ourselves following a simple step by step, just to get a feeling of how things work. <br />
- Some parts were vague because of the limited time, we did not get to the core of the information<br />
- It would be nice to talk sometime about the more abstract consequences Hybrid Publishing might have. Does this way of working, change something in the role of a designer, or the way we look at design as a phenomena? Or is this maybe nothing really more than a technical procedure that helps to make certain steps within the design-process a little easer? For now the latter seems the case and in this light you can very well compare it with the invention(s) of (or within) the different Printmaking techniques that came along trough history. The big difference is here that some of those inventions seem to have had a lot more consequences, and the similarities here seem to exist in fact that the technical limitations will determine the visual outcome.<br />
<br />


=== What you see as the biggest challenges in our hybrid publishing proposal? ===

- establishing a &quot;mutual&quot; understanding and culture in which technical challenges are embraced<br />
- presenting the possibilties of hybrid publishing workflows to other practices (other than editorial design and developers practices)<br />
- getting faster to the point where design questions can be considered and exercised<br />
- the technical aspect. <br />
- Getting it more „user-friendly” and find a way to lower the limitations (or show how the limitations may become an extra interesting part of the process, which probably is easer and makes more sense) <br />
 <br />


=== How did you experience the (technical) level of the workshop? Was it too easy/difficult and why? ===

- I would have liked to experienced more technical exercises and more demonstrations on how the workflow previously played out (looking into source files, getting a feeling on who did what and how time-intensive specific design decisions were.)<br />
- I sensed it would have been too difficult for me to follow what you had in mind, but I think if we had had more time I could have managed with a bit of help. <br />
- Talking about it was quite easy to follow and the basic steps too. But to make the next step and use this in my daily practice is still a big leap too soon. For that I would need a more technical follow up workshop<br />
- Even though I don’t have a design-background it was completely clear.<br />
<br />


=== How did you experience the working method of the workshop? Do you propose other forms/methods? ===

- I think it was to ambitious time-wise. I felt participants were introduced to the topic differently. Some were new to the idea some have had previous experience. Maybe there is a way to have introduction workshops (inclusive short introduction into the terminal) and more advanced workshops that could maybe be a bit longer.<br />
- There simply wasn't enough time to do everything you had in mind. We could have a part 2 where we get straight to the hands on part of the workshop. <br />
- I think everyone had a different view on hybrid publishing and what the workshop would be. Then there wasnt enough time to go into detail enough to clear all the confusion, so it ended up in confusing information.<br />
- It was a shame we didn’t have that much time for the hands-on part. <br />
<br />


=== Would you like to attend a follow up on this workshop and what would you like to learn? ===

- Yes, certainly. See before mention comments. Furthermore I would like to also discuss how this investigation into hybrid publishing could be embedded more naturally into the general curriculum.<br />
- Yes! I would like to learn how to implement it into my own practice of illustration and graphic design. <br />
- yes because it is a very interesting topic. The only thing came across is that it seems more of a part in the webdesign and coding domain than of use in the graphic design / illustration practices so I would love to learn how we get 'more design' involved in hybrid publishing<br />
- Maybe<br />
