Cool ideas For fresh Proposals
I’m playing around with some new toys that might be ideal for a proposal. Sketchcast is a new service which allows you to make your own sketch with or without sound. It’s my favorite price: free!
I could see embedding links to several of these in a proposal. Almost like putting Easter Eggs in your document code.
If I were doing this for a real proposal, I’d do several things:
1. Get a graphic sketch board (as low as $50 at Amazon.com) rather than use my mouse to sketch.
2. Have one person sketching and another speaking. It was hard to draw and talk at the same time, but your experience may vary.
3. Use a headset. I was simply using the built-in speaker on my computer. The sound will be louder and clearer with a headset.
Play with it and see what you can do!
Here’s another company’s promo done on Sketchcast, with the founder’s 11 year old son narrating and explaining what his Dad’s company does.
