Blog #18: Lessons for the Industrial Newspaper

What lessons did you learn from the Industrialization Newspaper that you carry forward into the MSB project?
There were a few useful things I learned from the project. One thing I learned was to make sure team members have the material they need. For example, if there is something that needs to be scanned on someone's own time, make sure they are 100% they have a scanner. Also, firm deadlines towards yourself and group members should be put into place to make sure a group project is timely. Since I'm in the calendar group, a lot of these group aspects can be put into play. Another thing that I could bring over is my new understanding of Indesign. I'm not going to be doing a lot of the designing for the project, but I know I will be able to put input into the project. Also, I know Erica, the person in charge of layout, will need some tips on Indesign. I think most of the designing for the newspaper was successful so I could teach her how to do something things or useful shortcuts.
