Ready for Presentation (Monday 6/1/09)

Michael and Chelsea have finished all the coding and tweaking on the site for Imagination Station, excellent work by both. I have been setting Brandi up with a companion blog (www.brandiwebber.blogspot.com) that she can update easily on her own. She has a Flickr page now for her photos, as well as sidebar calendar feeds from GoogleCalendar, and file-embedding capability through Scribd. The idea was to give her multiple outreach options, but to keep it simple enough that it didn't overwhlem her.

Monday we'll run her through the site, briefly describe our process in creating it, and answer any questions. Look forward to seeing the other groups presentations as well!

Meeting rescheduled

Wednesday 4/29 meeting also cancelled and rescheduled for Monday 5/4. Sending her a PDF of our mockups, etc. in the meantime to look over before the next meeting.

Meeting time change...

Got this from Brandi today:

"...unfortunately I have to cancel Monday, so sorry, last minute out of town trip that's come across, I won't be in until late Monday afternoon. Is Wednesday the next available time that I can come in? Let me know your availability and I will be there!"

So, Wednesday, April 29th instead.

Jeremy mock-ups

After illness Monday, here are some mock-up ideas.

Logo update

Final answer from Brandi about logo and meeting times:

"Both those dates are fine count on me being there around 930. And lets go with the blue mobile one, i am pleased it was inspired by our preschool room : )Thanks lots and i will keep in touch!"

Logo response

Sent Brandi the logos below and she responded:

"I LOVE the first one! The green colored one with the 'peter panish' looking design. Looks great! Thanks!"

Then immediately after came this:

"Ok, I am kind of changing my mind! I am starting to like the blue image that looks like a mobile with the baby's in them..... Don't know, how decided to I need to be? Could I change it if I don't like the way it looks on the site? If so, let's just start with the first one that I said I liked and if I want can I change it later???"
