#12 June 8: Brochure design – 1 hour

During my conversations with the partners of the ICC, it was established that some kind of document is necessary to promote the forthcoming product. Given my experience in that arena, they asked that I create a brochure they may present to interested parties. I have been given some guidelines with which to work in designing this marketing piece.

Today was the first chance I had to start the process. I took the weekend to focus on my projects for the Communication & Fundraising in Sport class, which I am halfway through. The course runs seven weeks and I am always amazed at just how fast time flies in that. The same goes for the mentorship, I am now at just over two weeks on this project. My work with the ICC goes through December. That will be here before anyone knows it.

One thing I forgot to do at the end of last week was to make my pick for the highlight of that time period. Really though, the only thing that I did was the market research and web host pricing. Since both were essentially a comparison of different options, they get to share the award. Even though I go into detail about the projects I am given throughout the week and my thoughts about them, I still want to make it a point to summarize what I remember and like the most about what I’m doing. This gives me a reference point as I continue to explore what interests me professionally. That I chose the comparisons this week and the news release the week before suggests a pattern. We shall see how this week plays out.
