Glitch rolls the idea board closer and taps the first sketch with the recovered pencil.

“The assignment was one welcome sign for the bulletin board. Simple, warm, readable.” Glitch points to the unfinished sign on the easel. “Then the sign needed a better frame.”

The next sketch shows the frame on a portable stand.

“The frame deserved flexibility. Flexibility suggested wheels. Wheels made one sign feel underutilized, so the stand became a supply cart.”

Glitch rolls the actual three-tier cart forward with an easy practiced motion.

Chip nods appreciatively. “It has cup storage. That’s how you know an idea has matured.”

“The cart needed labels,” Glitch continues, “but labels without a visual hierarchy are just tiny signs arguing with each other. So I designed a complete color-and-symbol organization system.”

Socks studies the connected diagrams. “This is excellent work.”

“It really is,” Chef Crumbs agrees. Then he looks back at the easel. “Is the welcome sign finished?”

Everyone turns.

The sign still has an undecorated center and one unattached frame piece.

Glitch lowers the pencil. “Define finished.”
