The four pillars we settled on are Safe Discussion, Community, Honest Emotions, and Accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>To further inform our preliminary design, we spoke with Drew Davidson, the director of the ETC and its main point of contact with Theater of War prior to the launch of this project. Drew was able to share information with us about what Mr. Doerries is looking for regarding deliverables, content and technology involved, as well as past multimedia projects that Theater of War has considered.\u00a0\u00a0Armed with this information, we brainstormed a list of possible deliverables.<\/p>\n<p>After running this list of ideas past our mentors, we started to narrow down our choices. We did this by first seeing which ideas matched all four of our design pillars.\u00a0 Once we had a good idea of which projects would stay true to our vision, we went back through the remaining list and assessed what was possible given the scope of our 13 remaining weeks in the project period.\u00a0 By the end, we had narrowed our list down to four ideas we could flesh out and take to Mr. Doerries, in order to see which direction he prefers to go with the project.<\/p>\n<p>This week also involved continuing our efforts to better understand the culture surrounding American veterans and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In our project room, we held a viewing of <em>The Hurt Locker. <\/em>Additionally, we were able to see Pittsburgh Opera&#8217;s production of<em>\u00a0The Long Walk<\/em>, an autobiographical modern American opera about an Explosive Ordnance Disposal veteran adjusting to life back home.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We finished the week by viewing Ralph Vituccio&#8217;s <em>InService, <\/em>a documentary\u00a0about the experiences of Pittsburgh veterans in the Iraq war.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/homefront\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20180126_102822-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/homefront\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20180126_102822-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/homefront\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20180126_102822-768x1061.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/homefront\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20180126_102822-741x1024.jpg 741w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/homefront\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20180126_102822.jpg 1945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Work This Week: Week two was spent getting our ideas in order.
