A local group of nonprofits have, for the past two years, organized a series of events in mid-September called “Welcoming Week: Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo.” Last year there were over 30 events in 9 days, which created a communication challenge for the organizers. They produced a huge bookmark with all 30 events, but that information was limited to dates, times, and titles. They created a webpage, but the information sprawled and was primarily textual rather than visual. The group struggled to find and use photos that would be relevant to the programming, include a creative commons license, and/or be photographs for which the subjects had signed a release. The group communicated primarily with the host community, the English-only majority in the FM Area but they would like to communicate more effectively with multilingual newcomers, some of whom have limited access to the internet and/or limited computer literacy.
Our task was to develop a recommendation report for the Welcoming Week organizing committee. Our group made recommendations, and included some prototypes for the content and information architecture for a website and mobile app, with an emphasis on the app.

I chose to not make any revision to this project as I am sastified with my grade as it stands, and I chose to instead focous on some of my lower scoring projects. It was also hard enough to coordinate the creation of the project in the first place, and I did not want to have to fight with people’s schedules during finals week to find a time to meet and work on the project.
