Intro-

The way designers look at a project varies. what remains the same for all design work is the endless possibilities of ideas and ways to communicate those ideas to an audience. Finding a solution to a problem is found through research and analysis on behalf of the designer. This also helps with future projects.

Research-

The project's context is the most important thing to understand in a design. The systems used to find this are the design brief, concept map, and knowing the client or audience. Researching and establishing these things creates a successful design.

Design Brief-

A design brief helps identify the idea of the project. Understanding the limitations actually opens up the door to the designer's creativity. There is something to go off of. the examples in the section talk about how designers have done just this. They knew the parameters of the project and they could narrow their design to solve the project's solution accordingly.
