= The Interviews =

==== Scheduling interviews ====
The main phase of the project had started! We scheduled more and more interviews, and started interviewing people, and recording the results. We even created a [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=1ohilina3ebm50076uj6taknms%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Amsterdam google calendar] to schedule our interviews.

At this point we had decided to try out different things in the interviews. We logged all of our experiences and ideas in our wiki, which can be found here:

==== First design sketches ====
At the same time we started to design our possible end product, also because we had to give a first presentation in March. We went through a lot of different ideas and layouts, and ended at a tag/filtration based navigation. We started of with a wireframe that I made and then started exploring some visual directions. These were rough sketches, also for us, and not intended as actual end results.

==== The Wiki ====
In this period I got also more and more interested in the idea of a wiki as a grounds for a publication system. I had heard that somebody from the publication station was behind it, so I went there, inquired a bit and after about an hour of searching and sing people who Andre Castro could possibly be, I found him and had a short conversation with him. Initially I had intended to ask him for some tips about how to approach this system, but he was enthusiastic about our project and told me about the plans for a publishing house in the WDKA. He even offered a kind of collaboration as in that he would give us workshops and walk us through the set up of such a project. Ironically this was 2 days before we all had a class with him on exactly this topic.

This is when we also started looking at technical solutions for our website, different kinds of comment systems for example:

==== The Name ====
In this period we also started thinking about a possible name for the magazine. We knew from the beginning that R-EX was not what we wanted but couldn’t come up with anything better than Wrecks, or WRCKS, which was our working title until close to the end.
