  1. Reviewed cover designs for the 2006 Report to the Community

 

The group discussed both of the proposed cover designs.  The collage design was determined to be too busy.  The group would like the cover to convey some type of theme such as:  “Coming together to respond to Domestic Violence”.  The cover should match this theme.  Alan and Linda will meet and brainstorm ideas to present to the graphic designer.

 

The second cover design presented was also rejected by the group because it was determined to be too plain.
