What this is about

Josh and Amanda,
The overall scope of the project is on the class website and it is also helpful to check out the link at adobe.  

As I understand it (Meg and Jaclyn, correct me if you got something different) right now, we are working in groups to research possible causes to work on. As a group, we are to research several possible causes that could be helped by educating and mobilizing the community. Fredda and Bridget suggested that each person pick a different cause and come back with research on that. Then, after we have done the research, we all decide on one cause and on basic images to use in our designs. The cause should be local to the tri-valley and bring about positive change (no calls to overthrow the government). Some examples from my notes were helping blood banks, veterans, CALWORKS for single parents, education and mentoring Junior High students.

The design work is done individually, with feedback from our group, so that we end up with 5 designs for our particular cause. After our final presentations, we will vote on one design from each group which will be printed full-sized and displayed in public places.

Hope this helps
Linda
