This wiki page will go over what graphics needs that have been added to chiventure and what we have in mind for these needs for the future graphic developers to work on if they would like. This wishlist consists of three section of priority with the top priority being the main focus, medium priority can be worked on next, and the low priority which can be complete last once the other two sections have been fulfilled. Here in this wiki it will shows the last time this wiki page was last updated. What that means was the last time someone went through all of the wikis checking for graphic need. The priorities will be in a list format, but the there is no hierarchy from these list besides the headers. The list will include the what the graphic need is and what team it applies to.
