Thanks for the very helpful feedback guys. The client is adamant that all the info HAS to all be on one sheet, as I already suggested splitting it up or breaking each section down. I know - complete madness. The info also has to be vertically read down, as I already tried running some of the info in a horizontal manner but I was told it 'cannot be like that!'
My first instinct was to reduce everthing down - even if it means the images will be quite tiny and teh text being small... sod it - it's the clients fault for cramming so much info onto one sheet. Apparently the flow diagram box at the bottom (pink) can be made 'alot smaller' but the text inside the boxes still has to be legible. Well I'm making it smaller but not sure if the text will be big enough to read - it will probably be less than 4pt!
What do you think is a suitable size for small text? 6pt?
