Preparing a design brief
This half day workshop is intended for those needing to brief a designer for a project.
Designers are only as good as the material you give them to work with. That's why a brief is of vital importance. It sets the starting point for the project and serves as a point of reference (and clarification) during all stages of the design process.
A range of projects will be covered - from a corporate identity to a simple brochure.
What you will gain from this workshop;
- an understanding of the process that designers use
- how to translate your marketing/communication needs into a design brief.
- a series of proformas that cover a range of design projects
- an understanding of the type of response to expect from your brief
- an understanding of the production processes for different briefs
This workshop covers:
- the design process
- elements of the design brief
- creativity vs objectivity
- resources allocated
- timing
- response expectations
- budgets
- production specifications - stock and appropriate printing processes
- copyright and intellectual property
-
