I had an interesting discussion with a client yesterday about project direction and process, and there was some open debate on how to develop an interaction to not only meet a tight budget, but fulfill some broad goals. Is there a best method, or does every project deserve to flex and adjust into multiple styles of interaction and teaching methods? Also discussed were the pros and cons of linear vs. nonlinear activities, and we went over the possibilities of having a little of both mixed in.

Getting to the point, I’ve written up a fairly detailed overview on Living Children’s initial project process. It covers our first four steps when brainstorming a new project, and covers each topic up to actual production (a page on production process will come another day).

The overall process includes:

• 1. Defining The Goal(s)
• 2. Rough Project Outline
• 3. Refining Goals and Listing Objectives
• 4. Creation of Flow Diagrams
