“What’s more important than design itself?
It’s understanding why you’re designing in the first place.”
For beginners, when jumping into a new design project, it’s tempting to dive straight into the fun stuff, playing with colour, picking type, trying out layouts.
But here’s the thing… design without direction is just decoration.
If you want your work to actually mean something, to hit the mark, to do its job, then you’ve got to start with one thing.
A proper design brief.
Understanding a project’s requirements could possibly be the most important step in your design process. If you fail to give this adequate attention, you could completely miss your project’s goals.
To confidently begin a project, you’re going to need a graphic design brief, especially if you’re unsure of what you need to solve.
Let’s Get Into It!
