Recommendation

Reasoning

Background

The End User Outreach Subcommittee will be creating communications and training items for end users. It is unclear how graphic design will be handled for this project. While many campuses may have graphic designers on their library staff, no members of any campus graphic design unit is represented in the EUOS.

Graphic designers for this project will be important for the following:

Developing a standardized logo or graphical identity for the project for future communications
Developing graphics that can be re-used by all campuses for websites, newsletters, and other media
Developing digital/print posters or infographics

Dependencies

Discovery FG is also exploring branding for Primo VE.
