Brain Puzzle:

 Important questions that such brain puzzles help address:

1. How do students think? (e.g. do they structure their thinking upfront, do they establish their assumptions before diving in, do they lay out all the calculations before plugging in the numbers and crunching the solution, etc.)
2. Can they 80/20 it and quickly boil down all the information in order to isolate the key questions/facts that actually matter? (often they will sidetrack you with extraneous information )

Work Session:

• Re-brand lecture / Demo

Work Session: Re- Branding Project w/ Creative brief

In the best cases, a creative brief is a document created through initial meetings, interviews, readings and discussions between a client and designer before any work begins. Throughout the project, the creative brief continues to inform and guide the work. A good creative brief will answer these questions:
• What is this project?
• Who is it for?
• Why are we doing it?
• What needs to be done? By whom? By when?
• Where and how will it be used?

• Business card (sketch, design and print)
• Letterhead  (sketch, design and print)
