WHAT IS IN HERE

01-Biography/
   DonDodds-Biography.pdf         Approved biography at 50, 100 and 250 words,
                                  plus the boilerplate for the end of a release.

02-Fact-Sheet/
   DonDodds-Fact-Sheet.pdf        One page of checkable facts, the terms defined
                                  once so they are not paraphrased, and the
                                  dated record.

03-Speaking/
   DonDodds-Speaking.pdf          Three session formats, what an audience leaves
                                  with, technical requirements, recording terms,
                                  and the introduction to read from the stage.

04-Portraits/
   as-used-on-the-site/           The four files DonDodds.com serves, copied
                                  rather than re-saved, with the crop and the
                                  duotone treatment exactly as the site lays
                                  them out.
   largest-available/             The biggest file that exists of each frame, in
                                  color and duotone. Use these for print.
   Captions-and-credit.txt        Credit line, alt text, the largest clean
                                  reproduction each file supports, and what may
                                  not be done to the images.

05-Logos/
   svg/                           Eleven vector files. Use these wherever the
                                  destination accepts vector.
   png-transparent/               The same assets as transparent PNG at three
                                  sizes. The reversed and one-color-white files
                                  are light ink, so they are invisible on white.
                                  That is correct, not a broken file.
   jpg/                           Flattened on the two grounds the identity
                                  permits, white and warm paper, plus navy for
                                  the reversed set. JPG carries no transparency,
                                  which is why there is no third option.

06-Identity/
   DonDodds-Identity.pdf          The full identity system: construction, clear
                                  space, measured minimum sizes, color with
                                  contrast figures, typography, and misuse.

07-Social/
   dondodds-social-card-*.png     1200 x 630 share cards, navy and paper. The
                                  navy card is the site default; it belongs at
                                  dondodds.com/social-card.png.
   dondodds-app-icon-*.png        App and touch icons, 32 to 1024 px.
