byline goes here

Our project this week is on the war memorials on the National Mall. We wanted a cool visual way to navigate numerous media elements that will make up the project. We wanted a flash template in the form of a map showing an aerial view from the World War II Memorial, down the Reflection Pool all the way to the Lincoln Memorial. Google Earth was ok but the WWII Memorial wasn't completed when the satellite image was taken. We found a couple of renderings on-line but they were a bit clunky. So, we asked Jennifer Sharp up in the graphics department for some guidance.

She immediately responded to our request with some suggestions and set-up a meeting for the next day. Wow. Then she had Lindsay Mangum join us. We described what we had in mind. Lindsay said no problem and asked when we would need it. We said by noon on Thursday. She said no problem. This was Wednesday at 4pm. She asked if we would want it in Flash with some images we could use for the project. Shocked, we said that would be great.

Then, on Thursday at exactly 12:00 she e-mailed us a map. It was absolutely perfect. What a help. So, if anyone needs some graphic guidance, ask Lindsay. She's on the 4th floor, right above the election unit.

We love Lindsay.
