According to Kirk (2016), The essence of "Formulating Your
Brief" is to "identify the context in which your work will be
undertaken and then define its aims: it is the
who, what, where, when and how." It could be formal or
informal as any project you think you must make it. This phase
is where you create a vision or plan for your work (p.63).
