Workflow
• Identify topics based on what’s going on.• Make a plan!– Outline important topics – What can you say about those?– Visuals! – How long will it take to produce?– Can it be done?– Is it too timely? Backup plan (Flood example!)

Example

One more thing: Visuals
• Design yourself (More difficult: Adobe Edge)• Ask somebody to help! (Map by researcher
example)• Take pictures – use them (Front door example)• Creative commons images• Ask others for images
