Big Heart Pet Brands (BHPB) would like to create a business workflow like the one from here and here (DO NOT COPY ANYTHING, this is only as reference). The idea was to easily change any section or piece to create customized business workflow. This can be likened to a toy railway where a piece can be remove or joined together to form different rail track. Ideally, each "piece" of the workflow should be in their respective layer so that BHPB can easily swap things.

Primary Goals:

- We are looking for you to design a template that can show a job workflow process. 
- Each workflow "piece" in their own layer. Create a sample workflow that shows all the pieces when joined together.
- Must be easy to read.
- Simple flat design
- Not cramped. Leave room/white space around objects for text placement.
- Must have elements that can be easily switched out and edited. For example, sections for a particular process need to be added or removed i.e. the overall process needs to have steps that can be added or taken away. 
- Must be able to change colors and fonts easily. Text should be easy to change and not be rasterized.
- Must include company logo somewhere on the template.
- BHPB looks up to the cloud so if your design represents in some way Cloud Technology, that would be great.
- The template must follow the BHPB branding guidelines, colors, font use etc. 

Design Requirement:

- Size: Standard 11.5 x 8.5 inches Landscape that can be inserted into PowerPoint
- Color: Use the style guide provided
- Font: Use the guide pdf provided

Target Audience: 

- BHPB Employees

Judging Criteria:

- Is your design clean and appealing?
- Cleanliness and consistency of your graphics and design
- How well your design represent and convey all the information
