OBJECTIVE: There were two objectives for this project. The first was to create a template for the Electoral Area Housing Reports. The second one was to create the official CVRD 2021 Housing Report. Both reports needed to be ready for print and web use. Primary usage is for web-based use.
TARGET AUDIENCE: The target audience for the report is the primary residence of the Cowichan Valley. The secondary audience is for the B.C. Government as these reports get produced every 5 years for review, as well as those looking to relocate to the Cowichan Valley.
CHALLENGE: While working on this project one challenge I faced was the timeframe and workload. Originally when I took on the project it was to be a week-long and only focused on the Electoral Area reports and creating the template for it. There were several reports to be made of the Electoral Areas. By the end of the week, the team from CVRD asked if we (Bone Creative and I) could do the main report as well. They were having issues with a different company producing this report and were happy with the communication and outcomes of the work we were doing. The catch was that the final report was due the following week to the B.C. Government. This report was completed at 93 pages long.
PROCESS: This project took place over 2 weeks, the first week looking at the Electoral Areas, the second week looking at the official Regional Housing Needs Report. This project was focusing on the production of the deliverables over the concepts and ideas for it. It was a race against the clock. There were many late nights producing elements for the report.
