Communication & To Do Lists

Taking Care Of Business
Studio Brief 2 
----------

Google Docs

Josiah had a good idea to create a shared document so we could all write together, in one document the things that needed to be done.It was very helpful as tasks for the group had been split up. It was a good way for us to collate all the information we had collected. 

A few things shared within the document were; 

The Manifesto drafts
Terms & Conditions draftsShopping list
To-Do list
Pinterest Page
Design Process


Facebook

We do have a closed Facebook Group, made for us to communicate within etc. However, this has rarely been used. We've found that face to face contact and the open document is a lot easier and more coherent.

It's still called 'With Us' which was the first name for the studio. With Us has now become [Bracket]



To Do List


This is the to-do list, which is the main aspect of the document, here is where we created tasks and assigned them to one another. All tasks are a result of crits with John and between our selves. We just want to make sure we've covered all bases and acquired all the information we need to.
