Chosen Briefs

I narrowed my 10 briefs down to 6 and decided two of them could definitely be developed and broadened into being potential Final Major Project briefs. This left four I wanted to work on throughout this module, with a fifth being added later from a live competition brief that I will be choosing shortly.

I re-wrote them so I was happy and that they were right for the timescale and outcomes of the module and got started!

Rationale - Pre-module thoughts

Before working on my 10 briefs, I wrote out my thoughts over the summer and my intentions for my final year in the form of a rationale to ensure each brief suited my wants and needs.
