COVER AND APPLICANT INFO Title Page Note: All design and copy is F. P. O. Applicant Info QR GUIDE & HANDBOOK APPROACH | 04/10/2019 | 7
INTRODUCTION Note: All design and copy is F. P. O. An introduction page will establish key program procedures and—as the process continues over an extended time— serve to remind the user (or new administrators ) about these key details later. ? 1) Why are some documents required to be uploaded, and others emailed? Can we standardize this so every document is uploaded? 2) Vanity URL for document page on SCE. com. (See OTHER CONSIDERATIONS) Introduction Concept QR GUIDE & HANDBOOK APPROACH | 04/10/2019 | 8
PROCESS OVERVIEW Note: All design and copy is F. P. O. The process flow will be an important reference for users. It will function as both a walkthrough of the process and a visual outline of the Guide itself, establishing the visual language repeated and referenced throughout. If it can be achieved clearly and simply, we will design this page to also function as a Table of Contents for the guide. If we determine through our explorations that this approach is too confusing, we will include a separate Table of Contents. ? 3) Are we free to consider changing the numbers of the steps? How about the names? (Provided we ensure all program materials are in alignment) Process Flow Overview QR GUIDE & HANDBOOK APPROACH | 04/10/2019 | 9
CHAPTERS Note: All design and copy is F. P. O. Each phase of the process will be divided into colorcoded chapters. The chapter break pages will offer a brief overview of the phase and include the estimated durations. Chapter Breaks QR GUIDE & HANDBOOK APPROACH | 04/10/2019 | 10
STEPS Note: All design and copy is F. P. O. Each step will be easily identifiable and organized in a consistent, easy-to-follow format. As this guide will be designed for print, the steps may not divide evenly on a one-per-page basis. Example Step QR GUIDE & HANDBOOK APPROACH | 04/10/2019 | 11
APPENDIX Note: All design and copy is F. P. O. We may opt to include an appendix for other helpful info, like a consolidated document checklist. Example Appendix Page QR GUIDE & HANDBOOK APPROACH | 04/10/2019 | 12
