A collaborative project that my team and I worked on would be the Brooklyn College Facts for the official handbook. Brooklyn College Facts is a handbook that contains information about the faculty, location and demographics of the students within the school. Min, Carmen and I were assigned different pages to design based on the excel sheet of data that was given to us by Isana. We had to consistently check in with each other to make sure we were matching all of our typefaces, sizes, logos, and brand colors. Our inspiration for the Brooklyn College Facts handbook comes from the Columbia University Handbook. We were inspired by the format and had to follow it for this project. I personally found this interesting because not only do we use inspiration in school but in real published projects as well. Being very specific on detail was important for this project as we had to have all of the updated data match accordingly to the research.
This project was definitely stressful as compared to the other projects because we had to check in with Isana constantly to update our numbers and to make sure everything was correct on the pages. Again we had to work as a team to make sure all of our pages were consistent with each other and the BC brand. This project was different from the other campaigns that we did because it was actually an infographic that contained real data that needed to be accurate. Since this is a official document for BC everything needed to be precise.
