Sense Check, speculative approaches spread

Summary

A "Sense Check" how-to spread on a textured pink-grey ground: two pixel-type pill labels at the top (one a search-bar pill reading "SPECULATIVE APPROACHES TO TRENDS"), a lime-green sticky-note starter prompt, and two columns of practical instructions.

Visual description

The page is a muted dusty-pink over a gritty grey photocopy texture, 16:9. Across the top sit two outlined pills in blocky pixel type: "SENSE CHECK" and a wider pill prefixed with a magnifier icon reading "SPECULATIVE APPROACHES TO TRENDS", plus three small square dots at far right. A rotated lime-green sticky-note box at upper-left holds an all-caps pixel-type prompt ("IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHERE AND HOW TO BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY... START HERE"). Below and right, two columns of black body copy give step-by-step guidance (swap research time for brainstorming, use the Four Plausible Futures by Arup, describe a future scene and its artefacts, choose any medium). Bolded lead-ins open each instruction.

Key takeaway

Styling a section label as a search-bar pill, complete with magnifier icon, to signal "look this up / explore". The lime sticky-note as an entry-point prompt gives a long how-to an obvious starting handle, and the pixel face plus pink ground make an otherwise instructional page feel like a workbook.

Reuse notes

Good for an exercise, worksheet, or prompt page inside a report or playbook. The pink-on-grey texture is distinctive but heavy; reserve it for interactive "do this" moments rather than reference content.
