Experience what it's like working on live client briefs with creative direction, deadlines and our approach all included in each set
Stay on track, and keep motivated with your personalised dashboard which shows exactly how far you are through each set.
All our content is created by practising industry professionals who know a thing or two about working in the design industry.
Whether you're just starting out and looking for projects to build up your portfolio, or you're just looking to keep your skills sharp whilst taking on client work, this brief set is the perfect way to evolve and improve your design... and you will create some killer portfolio pieces along the way too!
You will need access to a modern browser as well as a license to and a basic understanding of any industry standard design software - including, but not limited to, the Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Sketch, Procreate etc. It just depends what your preferred weapon of choice is.
Our practice briefs are a great way to get used to working on realistic projects, complete with deadlines and restrictions. Remember, both clients and potential employers will consider conceptual work in your portfolio just as much as client work... especially if it's awesome!
Brief sets are mini courses made up of multiple practice briefs within a single theme or discipline. These are broken up into the following sections: overview, creative direction, deliverables & timescales, our approach to the brief and a student showcase.
When you complete a brief set, your dashboard (where you can see alof your progress) will update to show you you are 100% of the way through. You can go back and access any section of each brief at any time though.
Our team run a live design agency, alongside Briefbox, and the briefs we write are inspired by real client projects that we receive on a monthly basis. This offers a new and unique way of real style learning for aspiring designers.
Absolutely! Running a design agency ourselves, we are always impressed by applicants who create conceptual work and use it in their portfolio.
If purchasing the brief set as a single purchase you will have unlimited access. If you purchases as part of our PRO subscription you will have access for as long as that subscription is active.
We encourage our students to submit your work created to [email protected] where we will feature and showcase students work over at the student showcase page, as well as on our social media channels.
We offer case study reviews and portfolio reviews additionally to any single course purchase or subscription. You can find out more over here.
