Located in Seattle, ORS Impact works alongside renowned social impact leaders, supporting their work to accomplish their missions. This set of 24 facilitation cards was created as a tool to help teams create more meaningful workshops, run more effective meetings, or find new ways to overcome group-related issues. Each card provides a different and practical participative activity that challenges participants by providing them with new and different ways to problem-solve. After studying the content, it became clear that a majority of the activities only require a few minutes of engagement. A design solution that complemented this fast-paced, group interaction made smart sense. The use of icons, and a straight-forward approach to the typography, allowed users to quickly and easily study the task at hand, and learn the objective. A modular layout, and the use of primary colors, yielded a sophisticated, yet fun, aesthetic, and the five categories—Assess, Energize Generate, Prioritize, and Share—were color-coded to simplify, and speed up, card selection. The finishing touch was sourcing DVD tins to house and protect the cards during storage.
