Five Steps to a Better Design Brief

By Rain Noe - August 3, 2009

in Design Business

Design Sojourn's Clark-Kent-esque mystery-man editor, DT, has written up "Five Steps to a Better Design Brief," culled from both his experience working with entrepreneurs and his stint as a Senior Design Manager at an unnamed consumer electronics firm. The (paraphrased) bullet-points are

- "Elevator Pitch"
- Hierarchy of Needs
- Communicating Key Benefits
- Design Within the Big Picture, and
- How You Gonna Make It?

Those of you that have written up briefs before can probably figure out what these mean; or you can read the full article here and see if you and Clark are on the same page.
