AIP-356: ApeCoin Papercraft - Resubmission

ORIGINAL PROPOSAL:

RESUBMISSION UPDATES:

In this new proposal, we have decided not to include the physical production of the papercraft, which was consuming a significant amount of financial resources. Instead, we will be offering an all-digital product. This digital product will include a comprehensive guide/story of Apecoin, an enhanced digital papercraft that can be easily printed, as well as assembly instructions. Every element will be meticulously designed in alignment with the Apecoin brand. This transition will result in a cost reduction from $8,798 to $2,950. Everything will be available through a linktree webpage and we will promote it via a new X account.

Team Description

We are a team of two from Barcelona, Marc Argelagués and Gemma Peiró, with a degree in Journalism and Business Administration. Additionally, we have experience studying Javascript and Adobe design tools, which has given us a strong understanding of web development and user experience design.

We also have experience working on a variety of creative projects in the past, including event planning, content creation, and social media management.

As a team, we are committed to delivering a high-quality and engaging papercraft project that will capture the essence of the Apecoin brand and engage the wider community. We believe that our skills and experience make us well-suited to this project.

Abstract

The project involves creating a papercraft digital model of the Apecoin logo. This digital product will include a comprehensive guide/story of Apecoin, an enhanced digital papercraft that can be easily printed, as well as assembly instructions. Every element will be meticulously designed in alignment with the Apecoin brand. Everything will be available through a linktree webpage and we will promote it via a new X account (@apepapercraft).

Benefit to ApeCoin Ecosystem

Engagement and Brand Promotion: Apecoin papercraft serves as a tangible representation of the Apecoin brand. It engages users in a creative and hands-on way, creating a stronger connection with the brand and its values.

Educational Tool: Papercraft can be used as an educational tool to help users understand the Apecoin ecosystem better. It can visually represent key concepts and components, making it easier for users to grasp complex ideas.

Platforms and Technologies

We will be using Blender/Pepakura/Photoshop/Indesign for the 3D model and the design of the instructions and the education material.

Steps to Implement and Timeline

Planning and Design: during the first two weeks of the project, we will work on the planning and design phase. This will include finalizing the papercraft models and developing the educational materials.

Digital Papercraft Model Development: during weeks 3 to 6, we will focus on developing the digital papercraft model. This will include creating the 3D models, designing the templates, and testing the models to ensure they can be easily assembled by users.

Educational Materials Creation and Final Testing: during weeks 7 to 8, we will focus on creating the educational materials and conducting final testing to ensure that the papercraft models are of high quality and ready for distribution.

The Apecoin papercraft project will take approximately 10 weeks to complete, with an additional 2 weeks for unexpected delays.

Week 1-2: Planning and Design
Week 3-6: Digital Papercraft Model Development
Week 7-8: Educational Materials Creation and Final Testing
Week 9-10: Unexpected delays

Idea is done so why don’t we give it a second chance?
Some of the main problems were related to the production and delivery of the physical object which is now solved by making an All digital product. Important financial cost cut. Design will be flawless. :pinched_fingers: :pinched_fingers:

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,

@Ape_PaperCraft has responded to our questions and has provided consent to share them in this forum for the community.

1. Is the Ape Foundation expected to engage in any of the steps of the AIP implementation? If so, please specify the steps and elaborate on how it is expected to work.

Ape Foundation may help us review the product before the launch.

2a. You’ve made reference to a Linktree account, but specifically how do you plan to distribute this digital version of the product?

Social Media: We will leverage social media platforms, via an X account (@apepapercraft), to notify both current Ape members and those who have not yet joined the Ape community about the availability of the file. The file will be hosted on platforms such as Google Drive or IPFS for accessibility and linked to a linktree web. Furthermore, we will implement engagement strategies to maximize outreach and ensure that the file reaches as many people as possible.

2b. Will you be requiring holders to connect to a particular platform to claim, and if so what app will you be using?

No

2c. What are the plans for security audits of the platform?

No need because it will be available for everyone.

3. Please provide the URL to this project’s Linktree account.

@apepapercraft | Linktree (not final design of course)

4. Who will be responsible for writing/curation of the “comprehensive guide/story of ApeCoin” component of this project?

We will do everything. But we will require approval from the Ape Foundation before publishing.

5. Your prior proposal, AIP-322, explicitly stated that the papercraft would “be made available for free to the ApeCoin community;” this resubmission does not include that language. Will there be any costs for the community to claim these, and if so how much?

No costs. It will be available for free for everyone.

6. Would your expectation be to keep complete ownership of content produced from this proposal?

We agree to grant the DAO complete ownership of the digital papercraft. However, we request that the DAO respects the following terms:

1- Limitation on Commercial Use: we think that other than the DAO no one should have the commercial rights to sell the digital papercraft.

2- Collaboration for Future Editions: In the event that a second edition is considered, we express our willingness to collaborate with the DAO.

7. Will the final design include the ripples of the ApeCoin logo or just the BAYC skull?

Papercraft will be the skull. Templates, guide, and all the complete design of the digital product will include the ripples.

8. Do you provide consent to share these questions and answers with the community in this forum?

Sure!

A DAR package is being worked on and upon completion this AIP will move into Administrative Review. Follow this Topic as further updates will be posted here in the comments.

Kind Regards,
