The Challenge:
This was a layout challenge with a twist. The instructions specified the dimensions, the amount of words in the title, quote, main content and legal text as well as the dimensions of the picture. I also had to come up with a name and logo for the brochure that was for a juvenile diabetes treatment plan. For Part 1 - I rolled a dice to determine the amount of columns to use in the layout and put it all together. For Part 2, i had to increase the logo size by 5cm and roll the dice again and adjust my layout accordingly. I had 60 minutes to complete this challenge, my heart was racing, and I really enjoyed it.
The Solution:
Part 1:
Part 2:
What I took out of this:
Because of the time restraints, I had to timebox. I couldn't linger too long on the idea for the name or logo, I found the restrictions forced me to think promptly and creatively. I allocated 5 minutes to name ideas, 5 minutes to logo, 30 minutes to the initial layout. The remaining 20 minutes i used on making the logo bigger and adjusting my layout again. I also found this useful because sometimes there are restrictions similar to these in the real world. And I was quite happy with the results.
