Since the Meeting...

The meeting this past week seemed to bring all of the different teams together as it went over everything that has been done and really put pressure on everyone to get their heads in the game. This is definitely something that was super awesome for us because we were able to show off the graphic submissions form online and get everybody thinking about what sorts of graphics would work with each design.

Since last week I have reached out to various people in the journalist stream to discuss what sorts of graphics would work with specific stories. I am incredibly interested in making an info-graphic at some point during the course so really I am most interested in finding someone who is interested in adding one to their story. So far I have had no luck with infographics but people are definitely more interested in adding designs to their stories, especially after they have seen what we have to offer!

As a group, we talked to a variety of people about graphic ideas, in particular the editor in chief for the journalists who promised to have a handful of designs ready to discuss for this coming week.  We also met with Robin to discuss adding new graphics for some social media updates just to keep everything interesting.

Our biggest difficulty over the past week has been trying to stay creative and come up with various ideas even though we don't have any graphic requests coming in but since our request form is up and running it shouldn't be a problem.

For this coming week I hope to have a clear idea of all of the expectations from the visual team and hopefully some ideas to design!
