Year 9, Welcome back. I hope you had a restful break and are ready to get down to business.

Let's move on to the next stage of the Investigation:

2.Develop A Design Brief

*Remember that this is the part of the Investigate where we conduct research (ask and answer questions that will help you meet your goal and be able to make a business card).

Write 1 sentence to introduce this section (example: This is the step in which I will conduct research that will allow me to make a business card).

Then, address the following topics/questions. Remember to answer fully, explain, include details.

1. Define "Business Card" (what is it? how can it help someone? etc?)
2. What is advertising? How can it help promote you or your business?
3. Research business cards (what makes a good business card? what is effective business card design? etc?)
4. Research 11 essential elements in a business card,
5. Research business card designs to gather ideas and information. Look at 4 business cards and analyze your findings. (Include print screen, url, what did you like about the card? what didn't you like? Be specific. What ideas did you get that you could use when making your own business card?
6. Investigate programmes that you could use. (Look at 3 different methods that you could use. Document all three. Choose 1 and justify choice).
7. Conduct basic research for information on the person that you will be making the business card for to get an idea for logos, etc.

Remember that you can use the links in the sidebar to help you solve your problem.

You will need a Works Cited page.

But, before we get started on this, let's looks at some hard copies of business cards to get us started.
