Design_brief

A design brief is a comprehensive written document for a design project developed in concert by a person representing the business need for design and the designer. The document is focused on the desired results of design – not aesthetics.

Design briefs are an extremely important part of the functions of companies and corporations, especially engineering firms. A typical design brief will follow the following layout:
