Monday 8th March
1. Met at Uni for talk on the unit and were told which briefs we had to do
2. Made a research portfolio on the brief and the client ready to meet them the next day

(Sam's Notes)

• Edited joint portfolio
• Project management
• 4 presentation boards + presentation?

*ASK AT LEAST ONE QUESTION*

Before client brief – Questions (lots)
- Observing the meetings

Clarification of the brief
Letter – 1A4
Putting the conversation with client into writing. Identifying changes/additions to brief. Ensuring all clear requirements reducing risk on our part.

Project management
• The Brief
• Clarification of the Brief (latter)
• Gant chart (for tutors)
• Record of every tutor and client meeting
• Proposal (1A4 at END)
• Joint Portfolio
• What else to include from research?

80/20 rule?

Decide
Write it down
Set deadline
List everything you think you need to do.

Action plan
• Plan work
• Work back from deadline
• Break down so tasks are bite-size
• Add in everything you think you need to do
• Build up time for Murphy’s law

Time management-Peer evaluation

Analysis
Why, what, where, is it appropriate? Target audience? Tone of voice? Comparison with? Self reflection?
