Project- refocused

During class on Thursday all of the groups came to together to discuss what each one was doing. We were asked to sum up what we were doing in a sentence. Our first attempt was something closer to this: To create more informative encounters between the Galley Workers and the student population to increase the efficiency in the galley.

After coming together afterwards and talking with our professor we realized that there was another problem underlying the one we had found; it was the lack of education and understanding about the meal plan. From this point we brainstormed our personal problems with it and conflicts we have heard and what should be done. We debated between multiple mediums in trying to decided what would best fit our audience. We decided that making an pocket info-graphic pamphlet for the students, about a "cheat sheet to eat" would be the best fit and a small flyer for the workers just outlining the essential information for them to keep on hand.

After deciding on these deliverable we needed to revisit our mission. We decided on:
To create an effective mean of communication to increase the understanding of the complexities within Millersville University's meal plan for food service workers and the student population.

Over the coming weekend we intend to conduct interviews with students at all class levels to hear their experiences and conflicts with the meal plan. This will allow us to find out what the real needs are, which will aid us in prioritizing information within our design.
