Objective: To conceptualize an ideal remote workspace that enhances focus, minimizes stress, and supports optimal productivity. This challenge encourages intentional thinking about how our physical environment influences our productivity and mental clarity when working remotely.
INSTRUCTIONS: BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, MAKE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
Using Canva, (custom size: 1200x800px) create a visual graphic of your ideal workspace. Search and add images or illustrations of elements that reflect your dream work environment—this could include furniture like a comfortable chair, a spacious desk, bookshelves, or tech equipment like a computer, monitor, or speakers. Personalize the space with decorative items such as plants, art, lamps, or motivational posters. Select colors, textures, and layouts that create a mood or atmosphere where you would feel most productive and inspired. Please note that you may use your Canva account and can choose any colors and designs you like. However, if you choose to use the VP Canva account, you must follow the branding guidelines provided in this link. On the second page of the Canva account that you have chosen to use, write a 150-word explanation of your design. Describe how this can support focus, comfort, and creativity. Share how your design would make you feel and how it reflects your ideal workspace. Finally, save and download your design as a PDF. Make sure to update the file name to match the subject line of your email (e.g., Activity 85: My Ideal Remote Workspace | VP Screen Name). While doing the activity, feel free to be as creative and original as you like.
Do NOT use ChatGPT or any AI tools to generate your design/responses. However, you may use ChatGPT to check the grammar.
Important Note: As much as possible, do this activity when you are calm, not rushed, and when your mind is clear and relaxed. Avoid doing it during busy or stressful moments to fully benefit from the experience.
