My Brief.
After talking to a peer today about the brief I was going to tackle, I
realised that I am essentially going to be re-branding 17 cosmetics
range. However, I am mostly unsure on the target audience that 17 are
aimed at as I want my design to be a little more mature. Consequently, I
am thinking that I could use the concept of the 17 brand and the
problems associated with their brand but find a new target audience in
which I am going to brand the range to. I want my designs to have a
strong hold on the design of the product, this will allow me to bring
some elements of successful design driven prints I see into my work. I
am not yet sure what this target audience could be, so I am going to
have a little think.....

Re-Writing the Brief
Today, I was re-considering the brief I had originally written for this project as it was very vague and I was not sure/was very vague about what the content of my brief actually was.
I had become unsure as to whether I wanted to stick solely to the 17 brief or whether I wanted to use the essence of that brief but to brand a different product. It was the fact that the 17 brief would allow me to explore retail graphics which I liked, but I realised that this did not mean that I then had to actually rebrand 17. I have never worked on a retail graphics inclined brief but whenever I see edgy retail graphic I feel inspired. However, because I have not had the chance to work on one myself I am not sure whether I will actually enjoy working on a retail graphics. As a result, I have decided that I am going to work on the 17 brief and see if I enjoy the process and outcomes, this will then inform me as to whether or not I should tackle these type of briefs next year and will ensure I use my time effectively next year.
I first listed what it was about the 17 brief that made me want to tackle it and then began considering other products I could use instead...
After this process, I decided that it actually may be quite fun to re-design a make up brand as I myself use it and can relate to the target audience. So I began to look at where no17 stands as a brand....
On the basis of this, I then re-wrote the brief....
