39 kinds of project

Every format, and what it gets asked.

A t-shirt brief asks about the blank, the print method and how many colours the press can hold. A packaging brief asks about shelf, material and the legal text that has to fit. Neither is asked about the other, and nobody is asked everything.

Below is the whole catalogue: 39 kinds across 10 categories, drawing on 10 question sets. Every list is read straight out of the engine, so it is what you would actually be asked — and every one links to a finished briefing that came out of it.

Open any kind to see its questions. Highlighted ones are specific to that kind — the rest is asked of every brief.
