This was our first meeting with Emily.  We debriefed her on the hangtag project and began some serious brainstorming on potential product layout.  We also came up with a few crucial questions that need to be answered before we make any real design progress with illustrator:

1.  Can we have sample products?

2. Are there any creative restraints? (specific colors, tag sizes, photos)

3. What are the capabilities of the print shop in Nepal- Can they do cut outs? Embossing? Different materials? Stamping?

B) What immediate and long-term CAT tasks lie ahead for the week, and who will execute?

1. Get answers to the above questions.

2. Begin design with illustrator.

C) What was the most CHALLENGING element re: the past week's CAT work?

Coordinating with a new group member.

D) What was the most REWARDING element re: about the past week's CAT work?

We made a lot of progress deciding what our designs will look like and we had a great brainstorming session.

E) What is your CAT doing really well right now?

We have been in constant communication with our community partner, and have solidified our main deliverable.

F) What is your CAT needing to work on right now?

We need to start playing around with illustrator!
