PROJECT BRIEFS
Mary Banas
 What is a project brief?
In the professional design world, a designer and client usually meet and have a discussion about the needs of the project. From there, the designer will create a brief that defines what was discussed. The brief usually includes the scope of work, defines deliverables, defines audience, names the key stake holders, and important dates and deadlines. 

How do I submit assignments?
Into our course Google Drive Folder, you will submit research, sketches, drafts, final work as digital flats (e.g. a PDF) as well as photograph and/or video (your poster on the wall, showing scale; a video of hands turning the pages of your book).  You are responsible for submitting work into the folder on time.

Everything you need to know about this course is on this website—what is due, what is coming up, readings and references are linked here. Bookmark this website for your future use. It works best on desktop (not best on your phone). There will be a few occassions when I email you something, but typically I aim to document everything here for convenience and clarity. 

If you have a particular need in terms of how you best process information and require another type of delivery, please notify me by the 2nd class meeting. This may or may not be accompanied by an official accomodation request.
