The process of taking the complex and making it
simple is complex..............
When every step appears to be the most important
step, how does one decide how to start?
For the novice, utilizing tried and true
approaches is best.
I Address Preliminary Questions:
WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE
HOW, WHY
II Write a Creative Brief:
Know my client, my competitors,
my audience, my goals
III Persona:
Are there special situations/populations
that need to be
addressed in my design to accommodate
the user?
IV Prototypes:
sitemaps, blueprints, models etc...
CONSIDERATIONS I would add......
Are we on budget?
Are we on schedule?
