Ten Minutes, One Colour
A timer, one colour family and a rule against undoing anything. The point is not the page you make in ten minutes — it is finding out which decisions you make twice.

Two-Colour Minimal Spread
One spread, two colours, five elements. The discipline is not in removing things but in refusing to add a third tone when the page feels empty.

Use Only Found Paper
For one spread, nothing may come from a shop. Everything must be paper that would otherwise have been thrown away, and it must be recognisable as what it was.

Seed Packet Ephemera Spread
Eight empty seed packets arranged by sowing month rather than by colour — the page becomes a planting calendar you can read at a glance without a single word of annotation.

White Space: One Clipping, One Word
One magazine clipping at 38 mm, one cut-out word at 11 mm, and 89% of the page left empty. A five-minute spread that is far harder than it sounds.

Distress Ink vs Watercolour Wash
Both make paper look old. One sits on the surface and never moves again; the other soaks in and keeps moving for twenty minutes. Choosing the wrong one is how a spread ends up warped.
