Well, would you look at that? Another couple weeks and my oh my has things been progressing with Elevate! As we are starting to near the end of the semester some aspects are starting to kick into overdrive in order for us to complete the tasks we need to before next semester and the whole event. These past couple weeks have been very busy for me and the visual team, and although our time has been spent mostly on the same thing, the end results are coming along nicely.
It started out 2 weeks ago after the visual team had been tasked with creating a poster and finalizing the visuals for the guidelines. We met up on a Monday night and spent around 3 hours finishing up those things before the deadline, which was the next day. We finished with the pictures on the guidelines and I spent a good amount of time making some layouts and ideas for some potential posters. Unfortunately, most of the ideas were not approved, but I was able to finalize one that we then printed out for our booth we were going to be having the following week.
The remainder of the time for that week was looking into more comedic/laid back ideas for posters that we could then present at our next meeting. After a couple of hours of looking we had a solid amount of ideas so that we would be ready. In order to help get the word out about our event, we set up a booth on campus where I and another group mate passed out fliers. However, the timing was not as good as we had hoped and we did not receive the amount of foot traffic that we had hoped for, so it was kind of a bust. Yet we didn’t stop there and went around to a few of the colleges on campus and talked with their main offices about getting fliers to the professors, which worked much better.
Overall I don’t have as much to report on personally. All of my updates go along with my teammates as we are trying to get our posters made to put up on campus as well as finding ways to let the people know about Elevate. I hope to have more to say in my next update, but for now, farewell.
