Establish A Creative & Design Working Group

Pumped to see this start to come together :muscle:

A few considerations come to mind right now (just rocking through the google doc linked in Laying the Rails):

  • What is the “creative and design function” in the Index Coop? You might want to share specific examples of what creative output the function has produced and how it’s been used. Most folks are unlikely to know what the contributions have been so far! @jdcook addressed this in his “Working Group Leaders” section, for example.

  • What is the core problem(s) this group is designed to solve? Put another way, what are the design needs of the Coop today? Why are they not being met? How could they be better met?

  • On "Objectives and responsibilities" – this spans quite a number of different functions. From a distance, “Rationalize and execute projects which originate from other areas of the Coop” seems to be the highest need, but I’ll be curious to read your responses to the first two bullets above.

  • New website: There are tons of considerations here, so I’m keeping it brief: I don’t think this fits into a Creative/Design Working Group. This is a large, complicated project that will require significant Set resources. It is more “product management” than it is creative/design. A few resources I’m looking at: Hotjar, HubSpot, Invision. Happy to share more context on this point!

  • Who is the lead? Who is the co-lead? Nailing this down would be very helpful (just echoing @dylan’s point here)

Happy to act as a foil as you work towards the formal proposal :+1:
