01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

A design brief states a purpose, audience and constraints. Designing a library sign with only two colours and a small space requires choices. Evaluate it against the brief, not only personal taste. A beautiful sign that cannot be read or understood has missed part of its job.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Your little investigation

What you need

Paper and a pencil, or a partner to talk with. Drawing and speaking are welcome.

  1. Write a brief for a quiet-reading sign with two colours and ten words at most.

  2. Sketch three different arrangements before choosing one.

  3. Ask a reader to explain the sign and record one useful revision.

03 / CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

What should guide evaluation?
