Homework- Building a Foundation

Design and the design process is very much about reflection, research, insight, and iteration. It is important to document this process along the way to use as a tool throughout the process. When we are constantly reminded of our foundation, it is easier to move forward and build on it. 

To start building the foundation for your final project, you are going to REFLECT and RESEARCH. 

REFLECT- After our discussions with Tony, write one blog article reflecting on your experiences thus far with your partnering organization. In what way have you been helpful, who have you interacted with, share any particularly interesting conversations or experiences.

RESEARCH- 

In Illustrator- create a map of your organization conveying the organizational structure. Who runs the organization (are they a one man team or a franchise) what services do they offer, and who do they offer them to? Also include a map of where the organization is located within Providence.

To find this information go to the website's staff page and programs page. Here you will find who leads the team, what are their titles, what programs they provide, and to who they provide them. In your map, you want to give a system overview. This is a simplified version of the organizational structure, and can be conveyed graphically with the only words being labels. 

Feel free to use ProvidencePlan as a resource.

Come in class prepared to share your findings and post both assignments on your blog.
