ABSTRACT

In the professional world, project goals are usually defi ned in a creative

brief. A creative brief literally briefs someone as to what a project’s

purpose is. It generally outlines the requirements and objectives of

a project. A design brief should outline your vision for yourself and

anyone else who will work on your site. Typically it starts by defi ning

who the target audience is and the project’s goals-including a brief

overview of who, what, where, when, and why. Briefs (especially

client ones) will also include project scope, deliverables, timeline, and

budget. It’s probably a good idea for you to defi ne all of these aspects

too. Start with bullet points of key objectives and goals. This should

help you focus on the crux of the design problem in a clear and

concise manner.
