Post Formatting
We'd like to invite creativity, reflection, and experimentation with your blog contributions but we also want some continuity.
(cake and eat it too)
When creating a post about an Agency project, please cover these general areas. You may adhere strictly to this format or you may take some creative-license as well. This is but a guide.
Client (who): One or two sentences. Who did you work with/for? Describe the organization (not the individuals) and generally - what did the organization want, need, expect?
Overview (what/when): One paragraph. Like the excerpt (above) but with more detail. What do they want you to do, create, or solve? What is the primary challenge or problem to be solved? What is the timeline for getting it done?
Process: Multi-paragraph narrative of what happened or is-happening. Tell the story. What did you do, how did you do it, how did it go, what were your challenges, what were your solutions. . Include work samples, media, and/or links if possible.
Outcome: One or two paragraphs. How does the story end? What did you make? Was the client satisfied? Links, media, samples encouraged.
Reflection: Your take on how this went/is going. Lessons learned? What would you do differently next-time? What are your key take-aways and lessons learned?
