Many problems both organizationally and creatively can be traced back to the start of the design process. Having a solid process at the beginning can change the outcome of a project. In this webinar, three in-house design professionals share how their design teams receive incoming work and collect information for a creative brief.
 
Topics covered include: intake forms, variable creative/production briefs, stakeholder alignment, project planning and post mortems.

Through case studies (and lots of trial and error), Chris explores helpful tactics for finding common ground so you and your team can gain the necessary information required to do your work.
