Think of questions you want to ask your audience. Create a questionnaire or survey. Show me and then when it is approved ask your target audience. Ideas could include: pages to include, design, level of detail. Here is an example: media type="file" key="Yearbook interview.mp3" width="240" height="20" =media type="custom" key="24516068"= media type="custom" key="24858042"

=** Publisher Interview **= We need to interview the Publisher to make sure we are clear on the deadlines and details for producing our yearbook. // List possible questions for the publisher here. // =media type="custom" key="24516052"=

= ** Overview ** = Write a paragraph to summarise:
 * 1) what product you will create
 * 2) why you will create it
 * 3) who it is aimed at

For example a good overview (design brief) might look like this:

"Teenagers have very busy lives. School, family and social activities mean that being punctual is very important.

I will design and make a wall clock that will be appealing for teenage girls. It will be a modern design and will be suitable for a teenage girl's bedroom. Because the design will appeal to teenage girls, them they will be more likely to look at it, read the time and therefore not be late.
