Assignment 3 Planner
Instead of making a timeline for my progress, I made an excel spreadsheet grid in order to make adaptations and changes easily.
I planned out the list of things I had to achieve and the weeks which I was going to achieve them.

Assignment 3- Task 1 - Brief Terminology
Brief terminology
Competition brief-
- Strict time limit
- Formal brief of what client wanted
- One winner
- If you lose, no pay
- Risky/Gamble
Commissioned brief-
- Much less rules
- Freedom
- Time requirements to meet
- Specific to you (no contest)
Tendered brief-
- Specific
- Formal
- Not dissimilar to competition
Formal brief-
- Written down
- Specifics
- Money
- Timescale needs
Informal brief-
- Spoken
- Very loose
- Negotiation
Co-operative brief-
- Informal
- You and client negotiate terms of project
- Materials produced, budget, timescale
- Regular meetings
Contractual brief-
- Formal
- Legal implications if contract not met
- Strict timescale/ Budget
- Strict guidelines to what you produce
2. In my opinion I believe that the commissioned brief would be the best to get because theres no competition, yet the brief allows you to have freedom with design work. The brief also has a laid back element.
3. When reading a brief it is important to pay attention to detail or easy mistakes can be made. First of all the product has to be acknowledged. Along with this there are the issues of; payment details, resources, time limit, home, relevance, target audience, and where it will be published. Along with this you need to know exactly what to do and a knowledge of what the client wants to communicate. An in-class example of this is the chocolate bar exercise-which was a competition brief- where the client had specific needs and some groups made classic mistakes by not taking it into consideration.
4. If the client makes any changes to the brief as you go along you have to be wary of time management and allowing time for other projects etc. For example, when dealing with a few projects, you must allow for the client to make slight changes to the brief by having good time management skills.
The timescale and the payment details can be open to negotiation with the client.
