Sheet 1:  Initial Design Brief;  mind map re. design brief;  investigation into main focus of design brief;  investigation into organisations linked to Design Brief

This is the first sheet of your portfolio and therefore introduces the reader to you project.  In the top left corner (this is where the eye naturally looks first) you should include the Initial Design Brief.  You can use a larger font for the title, but he text should be no larger than size 14.
Also on this sheet, you could also include:

A mind map which breaks down the different types of potential market for your product.  (Avoid wasting space by spreading out the branches too much on a mind map such this - keep it compact and detailed - try to extend the branches beyond one level).  You could consider:
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Income
  • Factors affecting health
  • Personal interests


Background information about the main issues affecting the Design Brief (which could feed into your Specification - referring to the ACCESSFM criteria).  For example, if your Design Brief focuses on a health condition, you need to show a good understanding of the health condition.  You must clearly reference the information (i.e. say where you have got it from).  You could do this by:
  • Selecting information from organisations linked to the topics (charities supporting people with a particular health condition)
  • Articles from online journals 
  • Articles in the news (include a screenshot from a photo within the article)
  • TV programmes or online videos (include a screenshot from the video)



*Remember to make your sheet look good too. You can use:
  • Light coloured tints behind some text boxes
  • Faded (watermark type) images behind some text boxes
