Small concept submission examples in five fields. See how you can explain an output, its process, and its limits.
Software
Accessible event registration front end
Build a small registration interface for a fictional student club event. Focus on clear feedback, keyboard flow, and an accessible first step without building a backend.
Example file layout
club-attendance.html
states.md
accessibility-notes.md
README.md
Example presentation
This hypothetical student example shows a small front end for recording attendance at a student-club event. The student sketches an empty state, an invalid date or name state, and a filled state before building one simple HTML/CSS screen. The README explains that there is no backend, login, or personal data, and notes the keyboard and narrow-screen decisions. The presentation pairs screenshots with a short decision log so a reader can see what was tried and limited. It is a format example, not a completed real project, client work, research finding, or performance claim.
Representative concept example; not real client work or your personal work. Learn the format and write your own decisions.
Ask yourself
Can I explain what the form does, what it deliberately does not do, and how someone can use it with a keyboard?
Redesign a study-desk reservation flow for a fictional campus library. Make your research assumptions visible rather than presenting them as findings from real users.
Example file layout
problem-notes.md

decision-log.md
Example presentation
This hypothetical student example presents a low-fidelity concept for reserving a desk in a campus library. The student begins with an assumption that a visitor wants to see a date, available time, and confirmation without learning a new system. Three paper screens show selection, review, and confirmation, while arrows show the proposed flow. The presentation labels open questions instead of describing research that was not done. It is a format example, not a completed real service, client deliverable, or claim about user behavior.
Representative concept example; not real client work or your personal work. Learn the format and write your own decisions.
Ask yourself
Which assumption shaped the flow most, and what would I need to learn before treating it as a design decision?
Plan one week of fictional promotion for a reusable notebook brand. Set hypothetical goals and a measurement plan without claiming a real budget, campaign, or result.
Example file layout
audience-positioning.md
content-calendar.csv
sample-copy.md
measurement-plan.md
Example presentation
This hypothetical student example plans a small introduction for a fictional reusable notebook. The student defines a busy learner as the audience and positions the notebook around revising pages instead of replacing them. A seven-day calendar contains three short sample messages and leaves visual production optional. The measurement plan names possible signals, such as saves or completed information requests, but records no outcome. It is a format example with no real brand, budget, sales, research, or performance guarantee.
Representative concept example; not real client work or your personal work. Learn the format and write your own decisions.
Ask yourself
Can I show why this audience would recognize the message, while keeping the promise and measurement plan separate from imagined results?
A daily-demand story from synthetic bike-rental data
Create a small synthetic dataset and tell a careful story about daily bike-rental demand. Separate observations from assumptions and limitations instead of presenting a causal or market claim.
Example file layout
bike-demand.csv
cleaning-notes.md
charts.png
summary.md
Example presentation
This hypothetical student example explores a synthetic 14-day table of bicycle demand and rain indicators. The student labels the data as synthetic, describes one cleaning choice, and shows two simple charts: daily demand and demand alongside the rain indicator. The summary separates visible observations from assumptions and states that the small table cannot establish causality. No real transport study, forecast, or operational recommendation is claimed. It is a format example for explaining evidence and limits, not a completed real analysis.
Representative concept example; not real client work or your personal work. Learn the format and write your own decisions.
Ask yourself
Which statement is directly visible in the table, which is an assumption, and which conclusion would be too strong for these synthetic data?
A clear notice package for a campus repair workshop
Create a plain-language announcement package for a fictional campus repair workshop. Make the place and date clearly hypothetical, and give readers enough structure to understand the invitation without using real contact details.
Example file layout
purpose-audience-tone.md
workshop-email.md
poster-social-copy.md
editorial-check.md
Example presentation
This hypothetical student example communicates a fictional campus repair workshop to students who may have a loose chair or torn bag. The student writes a short email, a poster headline, and a social caption with a clear but fictional next step. An editorial check looks for plain language, readable structure, and text that does not rely on color alone. The contact details remain placeholders because this is not a real organization or announcement. It is a format example, not a completed real campaign, client work, or response claim.
Representative concept example; not real client work or your personal work. Learn the format and write your own decisions.
Ask yourself
Does the reader know why the message matters, what to do next, and what information is still only a placeholder?
