OUGD602: You've Got Mail Notes

You've got mail - Real.

Make something physical we can send to someone. Make something physical to send to at least one person on your list.

Next friday, present documentation of the product.
Show me that you've sent it. Ideally if you're quick enough, you might even get a reply in time to tell us about too.

Add that to your presentation.
Make a meaningful and lasting first impression.

Don't overthink it, this is just an icebreaker for now.

If you're planning a grander gesture, consider this a practice run.

The only rule is that it needs to be physical.
1 minute pitch you can explain the rationale for sending to the person in question.

Let the context of who you choose inform the design and tone.

How can we draw a parallel between what they do and what they wanna do.

Ensure the final thing is produced to a professional standard.

Use good stock, communicate a simpler idea if it means it won't get destroyed in the post.

Inject some personality into it.

Catch someones eye.

Make sure the recipient can easily trace it back to you.

Any evidence of a response could be crowned "task champion."
