Bellow are guidelines for anyone wishing to write the perfect creative brief. When engaging in a new project we want to get the ball rolling quickly, layout expectations early and agree time-scales and budgets.

Stefan Sagmeister: The power of time off
Understanding the value of time off. The two week break is effectively useless, getting your head out of work and being happy with letting go takes the first week, followed by a couple of days of blissful relaxation before three days of anxiety about what will need to be done before getting back to work.

Fantastic Design Tools
http://www.uistencils.com These tools are great for the democratisation of design and for speeding up the communication of good ideas before they are lost to muddling over iconography and proportion.
