11/18

what

After drawing out a layout of the floor plan for the exhibit design, we brought it into class to show the rest of the group to make sure no glaring things were missed. Everything checked out fine even though more community partners were added. The signage portion of our group also brought in pretty final layouts. We reviewed them since they needed to be printed soon but apparently missed something obvious that we later found out about after sending them to the printer. The larger posters apparently were never actually that large. They were supposed to be 18”x24” but were designed at 11”x17”.

so what

Going over your own and others work is the only way to catch mistakes before someone else does. Even though we missed it this time, it was at least discovered by the printer before the posters were run. If he had run them it would have cost us money that we really needed to hold on to. Also by bringing in the exhibit layout it reminded the other group to tell us about the new community partners.

now what

Its never a good idea to do work and never have someone else look at it. Your asking for trouble amd mistakes to pop up. When you stare at something you fall into a zone of just approving things. We had discovered something similiar in the press release area, we aren’t copy writers so a lot of our sentences came out weird when someone else read them to us. In the future, its always good to keep in mind that you are falible and will make mistakes so let a coworker catch them before a client does.
