This book is organized into the four D's. Fill them in the order they happen — a Design section with nothing above it is the sign of a project that skipped the research.

Discover — the research

What already exists in this space, and who is this actually for? Precedent, competitors, moodboards, audience. Mark what you verified against a real source and what you couldn't. Credit human sources by name — especially if a reference is another designer's or illustrator's work.

Define — the brief

What are you making, for whom, and why? One paragraph in your own words, written out of what you found above, plus the sketches, structure or wireframes that came out of it.
