What is a design brief?

A design brief is something for a developer to refer to when creating a clients idea. For this to work it must be extremely descriptive. These are the main problems developers experience when trying to complete commissions:

Rather than considering the finished product and how it will look, consider the things inbetween. Don't just say "staff only", tell the developer how the system should differentiate staff from none-staff.
