Quick way of working.

I came across the blog/site of a talented young designer called Andrew Kim. He had recently done a proposed re-brand for Microsoft. During this project he gave himself a very small time limit to come up with something and finish the project.

The calender shows he only spent three days on the project. I thought this was a great way of working, giving yourself a very short deadline enabling you to really force a good design out as quick as possible. I personally think shorter deadlines are better for design rather than really lengthy ones. I would like to try out this form of working.
Since the wheelscape project is a shot project. It might be worth setting aside a few days, to try this out on it.
