- Yearbook proposal is seen as an additional brief. 
- OUGD303DC OUGD303DP are the labels for the seperate posts on the FMP blog. 
- Design context brief will just relate to my personal Graphic Design interests. Who do I want to be compared to? 
- Where are you going? Who are you speaking to? as part of design context. 
- Studios can be included in design context. What are their specialisms and how did they get there?
- Initially don't consider the fact that the design context element is going to have an end product. 
- There are websites on the bottom of the brief on moddle for where the publication can be made if nescessary. 
- Will it have chapters and what will the general content be? 
- Identify ten pieces of design context that represent me and my practice. 
- With the FMP consider the relationship between product, range and distribution. 
- Think big and extend things as far as possible for them to be significant. 
- Consider doing briefs together and not just one after the other. 
- Make defined decisions about briefs, so outcomes and timescales etc.
