Today I spent time drafting out a new sketch of what these documents might look like. I've decided that one sheet per position should help narrow my scope. I'm almost wondering if three resources for every three competencies might be too much on the sheets.
​
I spoke with Kirstin Krumsee and got her opinion on how to design this. I'm not a graphic designer so I'm struggling a little bit with how to make these visually engaging. I can picture it in my mind, but when I put mouse to screen it doesn't quite translate. It feels like I'm Napoleon Dynamite drawing a pencil portrait of a Liger.

I also spent some time searching for templates.
​

Kirstin provided a couple resources I might want to try and reminded me to make these fun and not so utilitarian. She told me to check out a website called https://thenounproject.com and also  https://www.wirify.com. Both seem like helpful resources.  

I feel like I'm halfway through this project and don't have a lot to show for it, so I must admit I'm freakin' out a little bit right now. I'm sure it'll all come together - usually at the 13th hour I'm able to pull everything together...somehow.
