1 The person/ company who comes to you with a design request. The company commissioning you to complete the project.
2 The issue the client has, something that you can solve as the designer. The reason
the client commissioned you.
3 Short description of what the client wants out of the project. The initial statement that indicates what is being designed.
4 Researching into the context and target audience of the brief is important before
completing the project. Looking at existing examples that solve the same
problem.
5 Identifying the precise requirements for the project, talked through with the client
including money, equipment and skills needed.
6 Coming up with a diverse range of possible solutions/ designs that meet the brief in various different ways. You need
to be diverse and experimental.
7 Evaluating each idea and deciding on which one will be the most successful and
could be developed further in meeting the requirements of the client, brief and
target audience.
8 Brining all ideas together to see what has been done and if any ideas could be
combined to create a new one.
9 Developing a prototype based on all your ideas and information you have collected.
Building trials and maquettes. 10 Developing and improving the prototype
design from what succeeded and what failed in the first prototype.
11 Finding a final design and prototype what has been successful and planning to
make it. 12 An objective and subject review of my
product and it’s suitability for purpose. An honest review of my project management and performance.
