From Idea to Sketch

Great work today in lab! Today we covered the process of taking an idea to paper. That includes a creative brief and a mood board. Very happy that you are all quickly grasping the importance of a creative brief (1.0) for conceptual design. For next class, be prepared to present your creative brief using the Get/To/By framework and a mood board based on this brief. Your creative briefs can be voiced over, but your mood board must be in digital form (or printed to share). I’ve included templates for the mood boards in the Class 2 post but feel free to create your own. Mood boards should follow a 16:9 ratio to present on screen (1920 x 1080px).  Looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life.
