Visuals, report writing and reading.

Update on the designers work: The logo is complete, the email is almost complete and he aims to start designing the lesson thumbnails and presentation of these today and tomorrow, this will lead on to the inclusion of these into the email sent to the teachers plus the creation of the poster for the staff room. The stickers for the pupils may also be made in the next couple of days, depending on the progress of the lesson themes and the poster. His aim is to have a week each for the teacher and children websites to make sure these are aesthetically very strong. These methods have the most content and thus will take the most time to create.

We are communicating very often through email and he is sending me screenshots to make sure we are both on the same wavelength, I can print the screeenshots to put into my research/development folder and for me to give more direction very quickly as to not slow down his progress.

I am writing my report, mainly developing parts already written and obviously adding new research. I am reading lots, annotating the visual development and catching up with this blog! 

My next steps:

• To carry on reading lots!
• To continue with the report until I get to a stage that I feel at a comfortable stage to go and find and order my other promotional materials (like the Mickey Mouse plush toy) and order some Mickey Mouse lever arch folders for me to submit my research and development work in. These latter objects are hard to find as Disney have not made such style folders for a few years, so I may need to design my own and order on the Internet. The earlier the better to enable long lead times! 
• Research and complete my SMART Objectives and VECTORS so I can sent to my Lecturer after his return from Berlin. (There has been a University trip there this week). I want these checking so I can make sure they are on the right track and this will enable me to improve them.
• Need to write my written information for the poster and websites to give to Andrew, as well as drawn layouts inspired by those of my competitors and existing Disney websites. I have sent the network plans for both websites to him already.
