Simplified rubric for design briefs
The Design Brief is a two-page executive summary of your design project. The brief should be written for an audience of medical technology engineers and designers who may not be as familiar as you with your clinical and solutions space.
Happy
The Design Briefs will be assessed according to four criteria. They recommend that the project brief be presented in sections dedicated to each criterion.
