Groundwork ATL Deliverable Guidelines
| Please consider the following as you draft your deliverables for Groundwork ATL: |
|---|
| 1.Choose a topic key to Groundwork Atlanta, i.e. impact of brownfields and and vacant land on ATL neighborhoods and ecosystems; how can organizations revitalize environment without encouraging the sort of gentrification that displaces residents; how to develop future leaders of environmental organizations; Brand building: what distinguishes Groundwork from WAWA, Trees ATL, or Global Growers; Aglanta; Trash Free Waters (EPA); or Chattahoochee Riverlands Greenway |
| 2. Consider the needs of your potential audience(s) and/or Groundwork ATL’s audience(s). Some potential audiences are donors to Groundwork ATL; cohorts of community youth leaders; residents of neighborhoods NPUD and NPUG (neighborhood planning units); and/or other foundations and the city of ATL. |
| 3. Consider incorporating Groundwork ATL’s key terms: Regenerate, Repair, Restore–both verbally and visually. What sorts of images or visual tropes convey, for example, “restoration”? |
| 4. Example packet of deliverables for Groundwork: a newsletter or series of blog posts detailing history of, for example, Westside ATL’s postindsutrialization; UX report of Groundwork’s website; single page (8.5″ x 11″) or postcard size handout or brochure that details Groundwork’s mission (specific to your topic or in general); interactive map detailing industrial before and after sites on the Westside. |
