The project encountered several key challenges:
Canva and Google Docs Design Limitations
Canva and Google Docs, the client’s preferred platforms, were inadequate for the required level of customization and asset handling.Client's Proficiency with Adobe Suite
The client’s unfamiliarity with Adobe Creative Suite and Adobe Acrobat Pro necessitated a more accessible solution.
To overcome these challenges, PowerPoint was utilized for the source document creation, offering a user-friendly and sustainable format for the client.
Additionally, the lack of a structured outline or general steps required comprehensive research and fully custom development. Extensive screenshot cleanup and digital refinement were employed to produce precise and clear guides, minimizing confusion and enhancing overall clarity.
