The development of the annual report was organized into 4 project phases:
1. Report outline & content collection
2. Content writing & report drafting
3. Revision and feedback integration. Iterate!
4. Finalize approval & report delivery.
The project began with developing a general report outline with key activities, organized in relevant categories. After the outline was more or less finalized –understanding it would go through iterations– we began collecting potential content. The process involved collaborating with faculty, students, and other program leaders to gather updates on relevant research projects, presentation, and other highlights. Content from previous Department newsletters, research highlights, and other features was also repurposed. A working team collaborated closely with student labs, centers and other faculty- and student-led groups.
When sufficient content was collected, we began translating our data into a compelling narrative, expanding and elaborating on each section and topic. In previous years, I used InDesign to design the visual report, however, it is not user-friendly for non-design individuals, and does not offer a seamless collaborative team feature. For 2023, I designed this year's report entirely on Canva, developing a template for future use. This phase included writing, editing, and structuring the content for readability and engagement.
The revision and feedback integration phase was an iterative process that involved gathering direct feedback from key stakeholders, including senior faculty and the NYU GPH Communications team. After several rounds of revisions and fine-tuning, the report was approved and distributed.
