Editorial team

File:Poster workflow.pdf

Deciding on the editorial content (Content plan?) such as categories and structure, whether there is an editorial, glossary, index, illustrations, photographs, interviews, case studies, and essays. Chosing and enforcing the citation style guide, whether that be Chicago, Harvard, custom... (also known as Consistency). Making descisions on whether we want to commission texts and then providing contributing authors with the "style guide" to explain the style for writing footnotes and/or references. Working out permissions with licenses and finally English editing, Copyediting, proofing. Example style guide INC: [1] (I believe it is from 2014, might be a bit outdated) An overview of style guides : [2] (may be less out of date?)

DESIGN ONLINE / PRINT / OTHER FORMAT

Typography organising the visual styles, looking at fonts for both online / offline and open fonts, choosing and enforcing image formats (how should materials be delivered looking at print / online) including resolutions. Platforms / Tools. They will coordinate closely with Production (and visa versa) on design choices in relation to materiality and production processes. Organise layout, and consider whether we need special formats (for instance markdown) for outcome in different formats. Also in case of online deployment are (partly? fully?) responsible for the programming.

PRODUCTION & COORDINATION

Working within the budget account for materials, printing, buying domain name (if necessary), and coordinating everything so it is going to be producable within cost and time. Consider things (where appropriate) like hosting, production plan, and timeline, considering the challenges of bringing together multiple sources. Consider questions of scale more than the singular article / item, and questions of production process which will be closely worked out with the design team.
