SUMMARY

Guild Description

Design guild is a community of skilled designers who collaborate to produce high-quality visuals that communicate BanklessDAO’s message and values to the world. The guild members are passionate about graphic design and have a deep understanding of BDAO’s goals and target audience. They work closely with other BanklessDAO teams, such as marketing and social media, to create visually compelling content that resonates with BDAO’s’ audience.

Past activities

In Season 9, the Design Guild concentrated on various initiatives, including replacing the previous guild coordinape with an Activity Check Bounty to compensate active designers within the DAO. This involved identifying talented designers through an activity check form shared within the guild. Additionally, the guild organized Design Guild Socials and developed the Drawing Board website to attract both internal and external projects and clients. Despite encountering difficulties in deploying the website initially, the guild successfully resolved the issue and plans to launch the Drawing Board website in Season 10. Moreover, the guild initiated a design competition for the Drawing Board pitch deck and continued the weekly Community call POAPs - as it has been for the past many seasons design guild members make sure that there is a POAP ready every week for the community call.

Looking ahead to Season 10, the guild aims to establish an NFT page for the guild designers/illustrators to showcase their artwork for sale, generating profits for the artists, guild, and the DAO. The guild also plans to reach out to potential projects and clients in need of design services. Also plan to resume learning sessions which would involve the role holders participating in teaching a session.

MISSION & VALUE ALIGNMENT

By having a dedicated graphic design guild, BDAO can ensure that its branding and messaging are consistent and visually appealing across all channels. This helps to establish BanklessDAO as a professional and trustworthy organisation in the eyes of its audience. Additionally, the guild’s expertise allows Bankless to stand out from other DAOs, demonstrating the importance of design in communicating complex ideas to a wider audience.

Thanks for submitting this proposal!

Some questions:

  • did the guild design the Drawing Board website? To be honest it kind of looks like a website template I have seen before
  • What is the purpose of the Drawing Board website? Is it to attract more members or as part of a funnel for paid jobs?
  • What do you think the Design Guild can do to attract more contributors to the DAO?

Hey @links
To address your questions

  • The Drawing Board website was designed by a member of design guild back in 2022, the design was then put in a test site via code, so mby the design idea was from an inspiration website, but couldnt have been a copy paste design.
  • the purpose is for both that you mentioned, we use social media accounts to attract talent and the website to showcase what we do, tho these activities will be discontinued in S10 due to the new funding model (we are looking into spinning the drawing board into a project and taking it towards a profit incentive direction, so that the designers and talent that arrive get paid jobs and dont leave (our drop in members is only because of nothing to do for high calibre designers, so those that stay are only ones ready to work for symbolic prices))
  • social media currently is the best and cheapest solution to rase awareness - but also a signal that designers can get paid for their work in the dao is something that most definitely will attract new members.

@Reinis @israelrex thanks for the clarifications

One change: based on [ANNOUNCEMENT] Changes to the S10 Seasonal Funding Process, guild funding is split into 2 parts:

  • flat rate (15,000/week) = 240,000 BANK for S10
  • signaling snapshot (coming soon)

So I have approved this proposal for the flat rate, and you will be included in the Snapshot signaling proposal coming out later this month. You can review the new Guild funding template here: Guild Grant Template (as of S9)
