OVERVIEW
The Final Project Brief is a document to describe the site that you will be creating for yourFinal Project. The overall goals are to describe what it is your doing both in text and with visual examples so that everyone is on the same page before you get into the full work of making the project.

Submitting the Final Project Brief
LINK in MIRO: If you have an online version of the brief, you can put the link to your group’s brief in the Group Miro document (it’s under Deliverable Info).
PDF FILE: It is also good habit to create a PDF file of documents like this. It should be a single PDF file. Your group can submit the file by adding it to your group’s Miro where it should be embedded and viewable.

| Research For this project there are two types of research: 1) CONTENT RESEARCH For this part, write about what families/topics/countries you’re using for the project and how what type of tags you will use to create your own groupings. 2) VISUAL/INTERACTIVE DESIGN Provide two to three sites that provide inspiration. For each site: – name of the site – link to the site (can make the name the link or show url separately) – reason the site was chosen – optional screenshot of the site | 12% |
| Site Map A site map that has a rectangle for each page of the site. The lines connecting the pages show how navigation works. You can use an org chart diagram in Word/Google Docs to draw this. NOTE: The site map should be on a separate page of the brief with no other diagrams on the page. | 10% |
| Wireframes Each type of page in your site map should have a wireframe for it. You can produce a lo-fi wireframe. You do not need to have hi-fi (although this can be helpful). Each type of page should have three versions (large/medium/small also written as desktop/tablet/mobile). Note there should be no more than one set of wireframes per page on the brief. | 30% |
