What constraints do you have to work within (budget,
length of product, format)?Contractual - This brief is discussed between both the client and the company. It is set out in the form of a contract and is about what the worker wants to get out of his job. For the contract to take effect, both parties will have to sign the contract, but agree on its terms before hand. Also, for this to work properly, liability insurance would be needed to cover any legal issues that occur.
The main advantage of this type of brief is that anything agreed on in the contract will be guaranteed to happen, so for example, if the company agrees to pay you a certain amount, by law they will have to do so. It also highlights the specific roles and jobs the worker must take, so that there will be no confusion.
The main disadvantage about a contract is that if you sign it, you will have to undertake what is stated by law and this can feel very controlling.
