Weekly Recap 1/9-1/15

This week was really productive!

What I did:

6-7 hours on refining content for the "I want to Immigrate" Kit.
2 hours designing the "Can I Apply?" Section for "I want to Immigrate" Kit.
6 hours refining resume and applying for jobs.
1.5 hours designing pro bono logo for Michigan Immigrant Rights Project
1 hour meeting with Susan Reed


What I accomplished, something, and something and What's Next


Below are the samples I showed Susan about Part 1 of Kit 1 (Can I Apply?)

I've been trying different formats for the diagram for "What can I apply for?".  I've also been working on simplifying the language.  Susan gave me SO many great suggestions today that I'm excited to implement.  She also clarified a lot of the terminology for me.  Turns out there is actually a HUGE difference between a sponsor and a petitioner.

My meeting with Hannah went really well yesterday, I feel like I'm really moving forward and have a lot of work to do.  I would love to have the content somewhat solidified for each kit by tuesday and a kit mockup for each and then with the feedback from crit have even more refined mock ups to show chris pullman.

I was pretty excited to step away from fully focusing on content and more on design this week and SERIOUSLY look forward to continuing working on them at the same time.  Right now my grid is 3 columns and 4 rows but absolutely nothing is set in stone.  I really need to work on a color palette that will work consistently throughout each of the 3 kits but distinguish them as well.  It would be nice to have a system that would also distinguish what the immigrants are applying for as well.  Anything to help clarify and define is a plus.  Thats one thing I regret not doing in the last 4 years, taking a color class.

 

P.S. Stephanie's Lecture was by far one of the best all year!  Congrats Stephanie!!!!!
