Responsive: Breaking Down a Brief

Before Christmas we had our first responsive session in which we were gathered together with the illustration students. This instantly put me out of my comfort zone, but I was glad for the opportunity to meet some of the illustration students, as I will have to collaborate with some of them in the second half of the responsive brief.

Within the session we were given a few briefs to look at to help us learn to analyse and read a brief correctly to help us with our own briefs we'll be looking at over the next few months. Alongside this we went through a few 'top tips' to consider when looking at a brief. These included things such as setting clear aims and realistic objectives, being smart when choosing a brief and not choosing a brief to fulfill the module, but choosing a brief because you agree with the briefs goals or because you will enjoy the brief.

We were also encouraged to think about what audience the briefs were trying to address, as this would lead the tone, mood and style of the outcome. Overall, I found this session really useful, although I'm not 100% sure that I will enjoy this brief simply because I lack confidence in my own work. Having said this, it will give me the chance to build on my confidence.
