# metaproject-look-books

## basics

Beginning with Horizons, we'll work at creating visual references for projects at the outset. We'll do it for as many as possible, back at the beginning we'll priorities a selection of projects.

## workflow

* divide up into chunks that we can do in smaller chunks of time (or delegate or crowdsource)
* references (from films, sites, etc.)
* tutorials
* prototypes we have created (for this or other projects)
* microprojects involving media production that's clear cut
* make
* permanent staff should make as many as they can (or find prior work that does the trick)
* fellows should be invited to contribute as often as possible
* in certain cases, we should offer fellows pop-up tutorials on the skills required (especially when these serve as workshop-practice)
* assemble--location can vary based on client
* bare minimum for each one = hackmd with links and embeds
* other options
* video montage/reel
* canva presentation or site
* styled website (beyond hackmd)
* print/pdf
* they don't all need to be identical, but a portfolio of them would be nice, so we want to be able to curate them all somewhere.
* present
* highlight gaps between what we've done and the references to manage expectations
* get approval and further clarity
* if revisions are necessary get a timeline for them
* determine final technical requirements and get these into the doc as text
* store
* store all elements of the process in the lookbook base
* references/models
* tutorials
* prototypes/ll-work
* from slack, for now using the show-your-work ecosystem
* tagging things in show your work and links to send to the lookbookbase
