This document discusses the key components and purpose of a design brief. It explains that a design brief outlines the objectives, requirements and constraints of a design project from the client's perspective. It identifies important sections such as the client, target audience, competitors, problem statement, unique selling proposition, timeline and deliverables. The design brief provides essential guidance for designers and ensures the client's needs are clear and addressed.
The grammar of visual communication, a communication that speaks with no words but shapes and images, with inner primitive shapes, where the text itself is primarily a shape.
How to write a successful retail rollout design brief
The foundation of any design project is the design brief. The two major facets included in effective design briefs are the landlord/base building requirements and the client requirements. The information below briefly outlines the key elements required to rollout an existing retail design concept into a new or existing space.
What Makes a Successful Retail Rollout Design Brief?
A thorough design brief should provide the design team with all of the information required to execute the task as well as outline the full scope of the project including client expectations. The design brief should be focused on exactly what you want to achieve before any work on the project is started. http://www.sld.com
Design students often find it hard to understand what is a design brief. I think that books like Peter L. Philips' are useful but I've seen students even more lost after reading them. I hope these seven examples and criteria help clarify things...
PERFECT IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD - How Imperfection Can Drive InnovationAndreas Krasser
Many big agencies, and businesses in general, tend to fall into the perfectionist trap. They spend too much time refining, second-guessing and researching their ideas, and by not moving fast enough today, they risk to be irrelevant already by tomorrow.
This presentation talks about DDB Group Hong Kong’s own little start-up venture, and how it helped the agency to un-learn its love for the absolute perfect, and instead embrace the good – the minimum viable good.
Further, this presentation also contains practical tips and frameworks for agencies as well as corporations that are looking to foster a culture of innovation from the inside out.

Discovery Phase [What is it and why is it important?]Stfalcon
Nowadays it’s unreasonable to start a software development project without a preliminary comprehensive analysis. Discovery phase should become an initial stage of any project you
deal with. It’s an information-gathering procedure, which brings you in-depth comprehension of the industry, the client’s business, and target audience.
Analyst & influencer Relations (AR) is a wide-ranging, challenging role, with specialist skills and a remit which touches on many different parts of an enterprise. Because AR touches on different aspects of the organisation ranging from product marketing to engineering, it encompasses a wide range of tasks and continues to evolve to include more. Compared to PR, analyst relations campaigns span across several months and managing multiple campaigns at once is common. Whether you are starting an analyst relations program for your organisation or on-boarding onto an established AR team, AR can seem daunting at first but a career in analyst relations can be very rewarding due to its value proposition in the eyes’ of internal stakeholders.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

3. It is a journey…
It is a process…
It is problem-solving.

*Graphic Design is the art and
practice of combining text and
graphics and communicating a
message effectively through any
type of visual communication.
5. *
*A design brief is a written
document that summarizes
comprehensively and concisely
both the business and creative
objectives and requirements for a
specific project or relationship.
6. *
*The design brief is much more
about the business objectives
and digs deep into the project
and discovers the main factors
that will drive the creative
strategy.
7. *Most designers are either given creative briefs
by their clients or write them on their own, but
they have to be developed collaboratively.
*It should align the client’s business objectives
with the designer’s creative strategy.
*Design briefs are best written at the start of the
relationship and prior to the development of
any design solution.
*
8. *
*Brief identifies the “what” of the
design project and Design is the
actual “how” in a project.
9. *
*In 1978, Sony chairman Akio Morita authored a
design brief that concisely asked his design team
“…to make something that lets me listen to opera
recordings on long-distance airplane flights
without disturbing passengers around me”.
*Sony engineer Nobutoshi Kihara took up this
briefly stated challenge.
*The resulting design: the Walkman.
10. *From individual designers to most advanced
advertising agencies and design houses,
everyone strives to get a comprehensively
written design brief.
*A comprehensive, detailed brief eliminates
ambiguities in the design process. It becomes
the guiding document in the process and detects
exactly what the designer needs to do and the
constraints within which it has to be done.
*
11. *It explains the client’s requirements for the project
*It is a framework/foundation for the designers
*It contains a well-identified and articulated
summary of the key factors can impact a project
*It focuses on the outcomes of the design and the
business objectives of the design project
*It serves as an essential point of reference for both
the client and the designer
*
12. *It does NOT deal with the aesthetics of design.
*
14. Client is the entity, individual or
organisation assigning and funding the
project, directly or indirectly.
This section of the design brief consists of a summary of
the client. Within the client, there are likely to be a
number other key individuals. It also includes
information about the brand, product or service,
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
involved with it or if there are there existing
advertisements or data to help understand the current
positioning of the client, brand, product or service.
*
15. This is you!
A graphic designer is a professional who creates an
effective and functional design to convey a message
effectively and attractively. Graphic designers solve
visual communication problems with images and text.
The key goal of graphic designers is to convey a message
that motivates the viewer to take an action. This section
of the design brief consists of a short introduction of the
designer or the design house.
*
16. A target audience is the intended
group of consumers for a particular
advertisement design.
This section of the design brief consists of the
demographics of the group such as the age, gender,
education, income, location, lifestyle, purchasing
characteristics etc. It may also identify the primary as
well as the secondary target audience and what do they
think of the client (brand) or product or service.
*
17. Competitors is defined as a company
in the same or similar industry which
offers a similar product or service.
This section of the design brief identifies the current and
also the future competitors. The reason why they are or
could be a threat to the client and what are their strengths
and weaknesses? How is the client (brand) and product
or service different from them? The competitive analysis
is a crucial part of any design project.
*
18. A problem statement is a clear
concise description of the issue(s)
that need(s) to be addressed.
An integral part of the process of design is the
identification and definition of a meaningful and
actionable problem statement which the designer will
focus on solving. It is the most challenging part of a
design project which requires a synthesis all observations
and data gathered. The problem statement brings clarity
and guides the ideation process in the right direction.
*
19. A unique selling proposition (USP) is
the factor that differentiates a product
from its competitors.
The USP assures a clearly articulated benefit to
consumers, offers them something that competitive
products can’t or don’t offer and is compelling enough to
attract new customers. In order to determine a USP for
any given brand one must undertake extensive research
of the client, competitors as well as consumers.
*
20. Advertising Budget is the amount of
money to be spent on advertising of
the product/service to promote it.
In the design brief it shows the plan of allocation of
money to various advertising activities by determining
the type of strategy, media and amount of exposure,
frequency of the advertisement including the cost of
various elements of advertising such as designing,
printing, distribution, materials, resources etc.
*
21. A timeline is a chronology of the
advertising plan over time.
Timeline is the proposed schedule of the entire
advertising campaign. It is useful to draft an initial time
plan and provide it to everyone involved in the process.
It is the schedule for the action plan and also includes
communications and sales support. In the design brief it
identifies all the key dates and builds a schedule based
on the milestones and deadlines that need to be met.
Creating the overall strategy is the most important step in
the process and needs to be done first.
*
22. Established codes are a set of non-
legislatively required commitments
which one or more individuals or
organizations agree to.
They are designed to influence, shape, control or
benchmark behaviour. A code may consist of a general
statement of principles and obligations as well as
technical agreements pertaining to specific operational
aspects such as reporting requirements and dispute-
resolution powers etc.
*
23. It is a list/description/details of…
*The assets that the client will provide to the designer.
*The entities that the designer will need to hire or buy.
*Any technical support that may be required.
*Any legal consultancy that may be essential.
*Any agreements that may need to be signed. Etc…
*
24. Deliverables is a term for the goods
or services that will be provided upon
the completion of a project.
Deliverables can be tangible or intangible and they are
often specified functions or characteristics of the project.
In other words it is what the designer promises to deliver
to the client to achieve the goal and in what format.
*
25. Ethics and legal constrains are
principles which govern the ways of
communication taking place between
the seller and the buyer.
Ethics in advertising is directly related to the purpose of
advertising and the nature of advertising. Having a list of
ethical and legal issues when creating advertisements
help to craft legal, responsible ad messages. The basic
legal standard for advertising is that all advertising
should be legal, decent, honest and truthful.
