In the spring of 2011, I spoke on Inspirational Design briefing at an Industrial Design Society of America (IDSA) event in Los Angeles. Everyone broke into laughter when I asked: Who provides the best design briefs: the marketing or the engineering department? Over the laughter, I heard that marketing briefs are not easily understood and engineering briefs are too restrictive.

When no visual direction is provided, designers will have to develop this language from scratch along with developing the concepts.
