List of Briefs

I have a number of briefs I've set out to do, but a number of them either clash in the intended outcomes I have planned for them or the content of the brief aren't substantial enough to deliver an outcome that I feel would contribute to my portfolio in an impactful way' therefore I will be choosing a selection of these briefs to carry on doing and researching for, but some will be scrapped; I will find more briefs to accommodate for these. 

Here is a list of the briefs I planned so far: 

YES: 6 

MAYBE: 4 

NO: 3

MAYBE 'Otley Run Bar Crawl' -  This brief seems ill-timed and not completely respectful of the current climate, but still a fun idea for a brief.

This a simple yet fun brief to do, it would involve myself and my housemates (5 of which are on Graphic Design course) to create the promotional work i.e. posters (physical and digital) for a pub crawl in our house. The outcome is obviously hypothetical due to covid restrictions, but the outcome would be a set of promotional work and room design which would incorporate interactive elements to it.

YES 'Student Star Pack'  - due on or before 22nd March. A practical brief that has an outcome that interests me and has a clear physical outcome. 

YES 'Youtube Comments Publication' - While the research purposes are very substantial for this brief i really like the outcome of making a publication that correlates with the style/aesthetic fo the grime music scene.

YES 'RESONANCE Brief' - Will be continuing to work on this brief, as the record label is hoping to carry on producing and working throughout and after COVID. 

YES '2 Minute Beach Clean' - Will go ahead with this brief as I feel it is very pertinent at the current time to be cleaning up and looking after our local areas (safely distanced) while we have so much spare time at home to do so. 

To create an app that would enable the user to keep on top of their daily 2 minutes of cleaning. There would be a 'checklist' element to the app, but the app would serve as a platform to other relevant foundations, links to relevant podcasts, new's stories, and other ways to support 2-minute beach clean.

MAYBE 'Mental Health Awareness within Sport brief' - While I fully support the cause/idea behind this brief, I'm not sure how viable or effective (reaching audience) a blog or Instagram page would be, so I may not do this brief 

YES Archives brief (collab brief) - interesting in making a publication based off this brief but we are still unclear on what the contents will be. 

YES  Byker Wall Brief (collab) - we still want to do this brief but covid restrictions make it difficult for us to visit Byker Wall and do the research we need to there. 

NO Rebranding dull business magazine(s) - no substance to the brief really, wont be carrying on with this brief. 

MAYBE Satirical Advert Magazine Brief - Could be a fun outcome as a sort of picture flipbook. 

MAYBE  Plant Directory App - I could create a compelling looking app design for a plant directory, by this particular area is overdone already. Would be helpful having some app design outcomes in my portfolio. 

NO  Animated Vinyl Stickers - way to simple for a whole brief, not enough content to it, I will most likely be creating animated vinyl stickers as part of the 'Resonance' brief anyway. 

NO PERFUME ADVERTS - Fun idea but not enough content - could even use perfume advert content as part of the false advertising/satirical advertising magazine brief.
