OverviewThe concept of a one-pager is to share your most important takeaways on a single

piece of blank paper. It is a way to respond to what you are reading. It is a way to be

creative and experimental. It is a way to respond imaginatively and honestly. It is a

way to be brief and compressed yet thorough at the same time.

Your entire page should be filled with information. There should be NO empty spaces.

If you have met all of the requirements and still have empty space fill it with another

optional element or make one up of your own (that relates to the text).

(not boxing out the page), different fonts, different color writing, and different

movement of text.
