We have been working super hard to complete the guide to send it to Williams to print before our deadline. One of the problems we encountered was cohesion. We took some time the other day to put everything up on the bulletin boards to quickly go through and see what looked like it belonged and what did not. The guide and TasteBuddy were having issues melding with the other deliverables. The guide had dot borders and some decorative leaves that were really interesting to look at, but were definitely part of the problem in making everything look like it came from the same team.
It was a little frustrating for some to have make changes, but I threw down some references to the “Crystal Goblet” and I felt that gorgeous typography could really work. (of course, I felt less strongly about removing the dots because I was the one working on TasteBuddy, while other team members were working on the guide.)
After all of this was resolved we have been trucking along with gorgeous typography and excellent cohesion and we will be wrapping up shortly to send to print. We technically should have Monday, but we have got edits to do and we want to make sure everything is absolutely perfect.
One thing I have for sure learned is that sometimes you have to sacrifice sleep in order to do something amazing.
