Here is a screen shot of the Trello.com management tool we utilized for production.





We started with a standard forum but found that the format didn’t visually appeal to the artists and while some were able to maintain their posts and regularly update, others were less likely to review the forum. With this format it allowed for quicker updates and everyone was able to focus on the individual cards providing fluid development of assets and design.

Link to original forum used from concept to the completion of asset development. Utilization of a forum for communication between team member was new to many of the students and this iteration was abandoned and replaced with the Trello.com management tool.
