Hi Gaby!

Here is the first draft of the Post LBX Industry Highlights! I made rough templates for the Exhibitors post and the Recap/Member Testimony post. I am still fixing up the backgrounds and plan on adding more detail/color in. But so far this is the start! Please let me know what you think, and if there is anything you would like me to make or edit!

Best,

Kelly

[Gaby de la Cruz]

Thanks so much, Kelly! You can expect to hear from us by Wednesday.

Best,

Gaby

Hi Kelly,

Notes have been left on Canva! Here is one main note:

Looks good, but some of the graphics/colors are looking a little muddy, try to keep them clean/avoid layering contrasting colors that cancel/brown each other out

The next review deadline is on Sunday, 7/21 at 11:59 PM PT. Please be sure to resolve comments to avoid comment clutter and let us know if you have any questions!

Hi Gaby,

Here is the 2nd round of our LBX Post Highlights 7/21! I made sure to resolve all the comments, and tweak the colors so the backgrounds aren't too muddy!

Please let me know what you think and if there's anything else you need me to edit/create!!

Have a wonderful week,

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

Notes have been given on Canva. It's looking good! Still the same notes about some colors being slightly muddy in certain areas.

Our next deadline for this is on 08/01, but if you are able to get a pass in before the creative team takes a month long break that would be great!

Hi Gaby,

Here is the updated link for our LBX Post Highlights 7/28!

I edited off the muddy looking filter that came with the canvas film strip templates, and fixed them to be more cleaner. Please let me know what you think, and if there are any other edits you would like me to make! :)

Have a wonderful week,

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

Awesome! Thank you for the last minute revisions. We'll take a couple days to get back to you with feedback.

Hi Kelly,

Feedback is in and it looks like we're done until we get photos from LBX. We'll put this on hold until after the event, but other than that, great job! Enjoy the August break. You deserve it!

Hi Kelly,

Hope you're doing well. Just got the link for the LBX Post Event Highlights. Comms also wants us to do a slide crediting the AIA LBX Media and outreach teams, so let's use one of the testimony backgrounds and add the copy to that. I'll try to come up with the copy within the next 24 hours. Since we're trying to get this out ASAP, when do you think you'll have a first pass ready?

Thanks again for working on this project with us and please let me know if you have any questions or need clarification.

Best,

Josephine Ota

Hi Josephine,

I apologize for not seeing this earlier!! I can try to get a first pass done by midnight tonight, but if I'm not able to, would it be okay if I turn it in by 11 AM on Monday?

Please let me know, and thank you!

Best,

Kelly

[Josephine Ota]

Hi Kelly!

No problem at all on getting in a pass by Monday afternoon. I also need to work on the copy tomorrow (my bad), so just keep me informed!

Thanks!

Hi Josephine!

I added in all of the photos from the LightBox Expo! Here is the updated Canva. 

Please let me know if you need anything else regarding graphics for the member testimonial slides! :)

Best,

Kelly

[Josephine Ota]

Hi Kelly!

Looks fantastic! Thank you for all your hard work and sorry if me working on the copy caused you any inconvenience. I'll update Comms and let you know if they have any feedback.

Best,

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for all your hard work on this project! Comms and Admin looked at it and it's looking a little cluttered, so we'd like to pivot to a more neat and minimalist style. Whitney would like us to use last year's LBX 2023 Recap post as references of what we'd like moving forward.

She would also like the photos to primarily feature the meet-ups and showing off our team at the booth. Selfies are okay, but we don't need to include all of them.

Similarly, copy will summarize the main features (meet-up and booth) and should be on separate pages in the post. I'll work on drafting the copy tomorrow and will hopefully have that ready for you to format by EOD.

I know this is a big ask, but we really appreciate all your time and effort into doing this last minute graphics changes. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if there is any way I can help you during this process.

Thanks!

Hi Josephine,

No problem! I can start work on it tonight when I get home from work. If it's okay, may I turn it in by this Friday at 11 AM PST? I think I'll actually be able to get it done earlier, but I just wanted some allowance since I also have another design project due this Wednesday. Also regarding the photos, would you guys be able to select what photos/selfies you would like to feature for the post? That would be awesome!! :)

Please let me know, and thank you! 

Best,

Kelly

[Josephine Ota]

Hi Kelly,

Thank you for the ETA and thank you for the request. Friday should work just fine and I'll pass along your request for selfies to the team.

Hope you have a good night and please make sure to take care of yourself.

Best,

Hi Kelly,

Here's some feedback regarding the photos:

• Prioritize pictures of the group meet ups, keep a few pictures of the volunteers at the booth, and include any big group photos (meaning more than 5 people)
• Ignore more of the selfies
• No close up photos of the booth. They're a little empty and not quite the vibe of what we want to go with.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Hi Josephine,

Here is the revised LBX Post Highlights 11/8! I redid it based on last year's reference you showed me, and I made sure to cut down and select the best photos! :) 

Please let me know if you have any other edits for me and I can fix asap!

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend,
