Brief workshop

Being able to rationalise what I want and ultimately need to do over next year has definitely helped me focus my strategy for 3rd year. Beforehand, I somewhat had an idea of what I wanted to focus on but this workshop really helped to clarify that.

Notes —

• The briefs are an ongoing evaluation - document every step of the process
• Things may (will) change
• Allow ideas to develop and evolve - uncertainty & ambiguity
• Brief start & end date is entirely up to us as all briefs will differ
• At crits, present work we want feedback on
• The bibliography (design context) is a general list of references and source material
• Rationale writing - what direction do we intend to take
• How does the brief fulfil what we need and want to achieve
• Focus on our interests, skills and what we want to develop, improve, investigate and learn
• What is the overarching rationale for our entire design practice
• With live projects, there may be a confidentiality agreement that prevents work from being shown
• Combine briefs into a more comprehensive brief (10 starting points, not finalised briefs)
