  When the Centre International de Glion, an internationally renowned school of hotel and tourism management, entrusted us with the production of a new brochure aimed at setting out for prospective students all the various possibilities of their educational programs, the problem was to find a means of presenting a complicated grid of information thoroughly and yet in a way which was also clear and attractive.  
   
 

In the original brief, the information which the brochure needed to contain filled several tightly written pages of text. In order to get an idea of its complexity, here is an outline of what was in it:

 
   
  We have adapted the idea of a board game as a visual model to provide an attractive and self-explanatory way of displaying all the information clearly and comprehensively.  
   
     
   
     
  The presentation of the Centre International de Glion's educational program as a board game. The left hand page represents the Glion campus; the right hand page, the Bulle campus. The track represents the student's pathway through the school's various educational possibilities.  
  The trademark logo of the Centre International de Glion: ensures that the client's corporate image is clearly identified.   Branch tracks: show the different points at which prospective candidates may join or quit the program.
  Starting point and track: establishes the board game image and equates successfully reaching the end with winning the game.   Obstacle: marks the point at which the candidate must present - in addition to passing grades - a satisfactory personal file before being allowed to continue.
  Course module: numbered and coloured to show where the course is situated chronologically and thematically in the program.   Diplomas: each section of the educational program leads to the obtainment of a diploma; the colour corresponds to the section.
  Training in Industry module: the track passes over the top of the module box to show that this period is spent away from the school.   Chronology bar: shows clearly how much time is passing as the courses progress, identifies each module with a relative semester.
