In a sea of companies that state they can code the world for a developer at under $1000, it's hard to know who to pick. The following is a non paid test application. The purpose of this exercise is to limit that number to something more reasonable, like five or so. To be used on an ongoing basis for development of applications, without the fear of picking someone with sub par abilities.

The test app should not take more then a few hours to create. If you can't be bothered or you think it will take much longer then that, thanks, as you have already helped me weed down the total number of applicants. Attached are two files. Test_app.ai (the art to be used) and Test_app.xls the instructions.
