The Design Brief Process is ideally cyclical and reflective, and may involve the following stages:
Defining the problem/task
Evaluation Investigation/research
Production of product
Generating ideas
Refining the design
Developing possible solutions
Presenting ideas to others for feedback
Let the information below guide you to complete your CBA1: Design Brief Process
How to do this
Defining the problem/task
• You need to examine what the brief is really asking you to do. You must identify the problem to be solved.
• The best way is to write out the brief on a page, then using a highlighter or coloured pen underline all of the key words. These describe what needs to be done. Look up the definitions for these words, particularly the ones you do not understand.
• Now re-write this brief in your own words. • List the requirements of the design; ask yourself what must be done to satisfy the brief.
