I'm getting a little worried about the progress we are making.
The deadline is in 10 days, I suggest we have all our writing done by Monday/Tuesday in order to go through it together and then think about layout and presentation of the documents.
Printing will have to be arranged and discussed before as we don't know how long it will take, and then printed by Thursday afternoon.
So we will have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to think about layout and putting it all onto indesign. We also have DVC to consider as that has to be in for the Monday.
Can everyone try and focus on their bullet points of research so that we can then move forward to the big idea and marketing campaign as that requires some visual work.
Sorry if I'm sounding bossy but we've only got a bit of time left so we might aswell prioritise this project and try our hardest to get a good mark
p.s Whats everyones thoughts of the form of the report do we want it to be in a book style with a glue spine like the ones we saw in the seminar? I don't know if they take a bit more of time to dry with the glue. Hannah would you mind taking the responsibilty of ringing a printer as I know you have had communications with them before through the fashion show?

I agree I'm stressing! Lets say basically have everything done by monday because I'm sure as we start to put it all into Indesign we will find more things that need to be done! Im currently making a perceptual map for UK but we need one for US too and also PEST and SWOT but i was thinking we should try and do them together as people have different ideas and they are quite difficult to do on your own. I think the glue spines look really good. Also we need to choose a brand and big idea! (JK)
ReplyDeleteI've contacted John E Wrights and they do not offer that style of binding in house but apparently have something that replicates it, which I don't completely understand, but they suggested we go in and see what they do so that might be something we can do tomorrow if we meet. They did warn to work on the basis that it could take up to 3 days with the binding so we should probably go and discuss it asap.They got back to me really quickly as well so they may be the best to go to, but I can also contact the others I know, although they are a bus journey away.
ReplyDeleteI think we are all equally concerned about progress and prioritising this and I'm sure we'll get it done and each do our bit
I've nearly finished typing up my initial bullet points and would be good to maybe discuss recommendations tomorrow so we can type those up, because I think they can be quite general and separate to the big idea, so we can always start working on them if we're still coming up with something

Oh also I've written a bit of a SWOT already based on the one I found, but if you want to go over it again as a group thats fine.
ReplyDeleteDo we need to say who wrote what in the research document as well as the main report?
yes i think we do note who did the research, ok so if we want it bounded then we are going to have to sort out a schedule, i dont know if its worth it for loosing out on three days of working time though. when we meet tomorrow we should go to the shop and discuss it with them, once we know exactly what we want.
