By COUP - The Intake of 2015/16

Reflections on our first brief:

Becci - Always remember to SUCCES check your idea first!

Bea - Your work will always be the effort you put into it, don't trip on the finish line because of poor time management.

Ben G - Don't put lots of good ideas into your work, concentrate on having just the one otherwise it just becomes a bunch of thoughts tied together with a logo.

Matt B - Explain the story simply and explicitly - make it one people will want to scream about.

Nick L - Experience the product.

Zac - Don't get lost in situation exploration. Decide on your strategy and go for ideas.

Laura - Tell a story.

Chloe - All 'bout dat strategy. Make sure your executions have the same message.

Ethan - If it's a quickie it ain't sticky.

Seb - Do lots of bloody research. Something good will come of it. Probably. Hopefully.

Larry - It's all about the idea. But make sure it's a good idea.

Sam - Prepare for presentations.

Orla - Feed nick k or he gets grumpy.

Ben T - Blue hat is key.

Federica - Improv is the answer.
