Hi Robs!

The edits today won't change copy - but we may need to add for those extra pages. I was thinking that it would only be needed for the next stage, because the detail is quite deep. But after Ian raised the question around the how, I'm wondering if it needs to be added now.  

I'm meeting with Jane now, so we can give proper feedback at about 3pm. Would that be ok?

Hi Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn
Just want to confirm what Jacqui Botha, Materials Design and Production Manager at Wordworks Jacqui said.
We are adding six offshoot pages to the floating Programme pages (ie they don't come from a menu, just from buttons.
We needing to reassure everyone that this detail would be available.
However, we don't think they are necessary to submit as part of the prototype now... as they don't add any new features, and its a really deep set of pages and therefore not as influential on SEO (I assume)
Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold Roule can you confirm all this?
If Roule agrees, Robyn, then the copy doc still stands as good to go.

I think it is okay if those 6 pages come later, They are all based on the same template or layout right? I do think we need to get them in soon, because our focus will shift to the Ecommerce and LMS flows soon

Hi Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold Roule

Jane and I have worked through the tasks from the handover this morning (I've popped it in the top left of the XD file). I've left some comments for you scattered around the file. We've also added circle comments in pink to highlight where certain buttons must go. I didn't want to link them until you'd seen our thinking. I wondered if it's worth doing this for all pages, just to make sure all the loops are closed? Happy to if that helps!

I've cleared my desk tomorrow so I'm happy to sit in the XD file all day and  do whatever is needed to get everything ready for the dev team.

I hope this works for you!

I added some comments in the file, will you go through them and delete resolved things?  Message me when your are done

For the files to Matogen
We need to prep a dropbox folder with all logos, fonts and icons.
It is best to save the icons and logos as SVG. 
Easiest way to do it is a illustrator file (RGB) with each element on a artboard at the size we're using it on desktop.

Then Export for screen as .svgs
All text in SVGs must be made paths

yay, we are nearing the end Jacqui Botha, Materials Design and Production Manager at Wordworks Jacqui and Jane Coombe, Strategic & Programme Consultant at Wordworks Jane  πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Well done to all of you for keeping the momentum up and trying to get it done - it is a lot to get through but will be worth it ❀️

We look forward to receiving that file and giving it a good eyeball πŸ‘€πŸ«ΆπŸ«Ά

Hi Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold Roule !

Thanks so much - going through it all now... will ping you as soon as it's ready.

And thanks for the SVG details, will hop onto it as soon as I'm done in the XD file. I'll share the folder so you can do a once over to make sure I haven't missed anything?

Thanks Robyn, Project Manager at Matogen Digital Robyn ! We'll be so happy once this step is 'finished' πŸ˜…

Perfect, we also need to optimise photos. 
Are the current photos placeholders? of real?
Jacqui Botha, Materials Design and Production Manager at Wordworks
Will double check them now - hoping I can make sure most of them are not placeholders. What's needed to optimise them?
Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold
We need to Save them at the maximum pixel size they will be used at- check size in XD. 

Resize in Photoshop and Export for Screen to reduce size to around 100kb if possible. Jpeg medium to high quality should do it

Let me know if you need help :)
Jacqui Botha, Materials Design and Production Manager at Wordworks
Got it! Should be good but will def shout if I get stuck 😁

Shall I share the folder on Dropbox or Google when it's ready?

not sure if this question is for me Jacqui Botha, Materials Design and Production Manager at Wordworks Jacqui  πŸ˜Š but going to give me two cents , I don't have a preference at all,  but I know you ladies usually use Dropbox Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold Roule  
Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold
We prefer Dropbox as we have a Business account there

We need to wrap up the last bits in the XD file now, so I can make sure all it linked. 
Jacqui Botha, Materials Design and Production Manager at Wordworks
Yes Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold Roule , will only start finalising the assests as soon as you and I are finished with the XD file. Feels like we're close? 😬

Thanks Robs! Dropbox is totally fine for me as we work in both πŸ€—

I think so too.

Hi everyone! 

I'm busy creating the final assets from the XD file. Are you going to need this by the end of today or can I work on them this evening and tomorrow morning?

Roule Le Roux, Designer at Unfold
I think if the asset folder is with Matogen before the work week kicks off, it should be okay
