Final Week - Lydia

This week was an eventful one that was shaped by two meetings with our CEO, Wei. We discussed how we are going to publish and promote the ‘Religion in Birmingham’ book, focusing specifically on the need to find both sponsorship and suitable people to review the book and write its foreword. My next challenge is to approach some community members and organisations to promote our project and gauge interest. 

Wei and I also hope to set up a meeting with a design company in Birmingham next week to bring our book to life. I have been developing my ideas on how to design the booklet and looking at different ways of representing information in an interactive and innovative format such as using infographics and maps. 

We also discussed how we are going to begin our next project, creating educational videos about religious life in Birmingham. We made the decision that the videos should be 3-4 minutes long about each religious place, containing footage of the locations and a voiceover which will give information about the history and significance of each place. This is an exciting new opportunity and I hope to get in contact with a filming company soon to begin this process.
