Hi Hermia,
I agree that the OPDTA is not perfect yet. We try to come up with something more appealing.
With your thought that it is not enough graphic in the news letter I don't fully agree. Yes we can improve on this design and no we dont want too much graphics.
In the first place we are a learning and development company that utilises animation and cognitive design principles for our products and publications.
But we don't want abandon text at all and only reduce it only where it makes sense from a learning and persuasion point of view.
We are committed to Google material design and we will use this as close as possible.
Let me introduce Khun Bow to you, she is a new team member and has the same graphic design background as Toffy. Bow will work with you and me to make this newsletter design really representative for the WLH goals.
I will give her some further ideas to build on your input and improve the overall look and feel. She will publish her ideas and development for discussion in this thread.
Our goal is to get this done to a final version by Thursday next week.
