An image of CODE's Creative Process poster. On a white background, the poster title is positioned in the top left corner. The words for The Creative Process are stacked and each word is a different colour from CODE's brand identity - pastel green, pastel blue, and dark blue. In the center of the poster is a wheel consisting of nine slices surrounding a small circle in the middle. One of the slices is grey, indicating a starting point. The rest of the slices alternate between pastel green and pastel blue. The first stage of the Creative Process is titled Challenging & Inspiring and includes a small icon of an illuminated light bulb with an exclamation point in the center. The slide is shaped slightly to indicate an arrow to the next slice, Imagining & Generating which features a cloud-shaped thought bubble icon with a lightning bolt in the centre. Beginning with this slice, there are grey arrows pointing to the center circle, "Feedback & Reflection (from Peers & Teachers) with a speech bubble icon, and pointing back at the slice. All subsequent slices will also point to and from this center circle, demonstrating that Feedback & Reflection happen at each of these stages of the Creative Process. Next is Planning & Focusing with a magnifiying glass icon that has a question mark in the centre. The next slice is Exploring & Experimenting with icons for the drama comedy mask, a paintbrush, and a ruler. The next stage is Producing Preliminary Work with an icon of two gears working together. The next is Revising & Refining. The graphic for this one includes three speech bubbles: one contained an ellipses, one contains quotation marks, and one contains !?. The three speech bubbles are connected by a Y-shaped line connecting them. The implication is that this stage requires communication, reflection, and new ideas. The next stage is Presenting, Performing, Sharing with an icon of two hands applauding. The final section is Reflecting & Evaluating with a clipboard icon that contains a circled check-mark. Surrounding the whole circle are grey arrows moving in the direction of the stages, one for each of the stages of the process. Each arrow contains smaller white triangles facing in the same direction. The impression is one of movement and something dynamic and also that the Creative Process could begin at any point in the process. In the bottom left of the poster is a tagline that reads Be Inspired. (written in green pastel) and Stay Connected (written in blue pastel). In the bottom right of the poster is the CODE logo in the same colours, including the signature lower-case 'd' composed of two figures moving together.
