OUGD503 // Deciding on the brief

From picking our 5 competition briefs we want to use within the responsive module we had a workshop with Fred. This workshop was to help us understand the briefs and unpick them, by the end of the workshop we would have our chosen brief which is ready to rewrite and start going on the actual design of it.

When i went into the workshop i knew there was two which i wanted to do and couldnt decide between them which one to do as the main brief this was the ella's kitchen and fedrigoni brief.
I decided to use the fedrigoni brief for this session and because it was the one i was getting more ideas for.

To start with we given 4 questions which we had to write as many answers to and clear our minds of all the stuff about the briefs.

Why have you chosen the brief?
- interested in working with stock
- good challenge
- working for a large company
- lots of variations within outcomes
- working on a campaign
- ties in with all print work doing at the minute

What do you want to get out of the brief?
- work on a well established company
- produce a campaign
- try new avenues of design
- experiment with the requirements of the brief
- produce well though out high standard design
- creditation of good design work - getting noticed for the work

What do you want to do/make/propose in response to the brief?
- try something new in which i design
- work with craft and stock itself
- create some sort of video/large scale advert to promote variation of range
- aim at printers - use printers within campaign
- 3d work
- collaborate with other off another course? video

Why do you want to enter the brief?
- interesting ideas
- working with stock
- great established company
- lots of products that could produce from it
- TO WIN

From this the session continued with more questions and general discussions of the answers to these questions
