Help Design Students Please Submit Sample Design Briefs

I have read countless questions on design blogs and forums from students learning graphic design about how to build up a design portfolio. It’s that old vicious circle, the new designer needs to show work in their portfolio to a potential employer, but how can you show professional design projects when you haven’t got a job yet? Hopefully by providing some sample design briefs this will help student designers to build up their portfolios.

If you have any old design briefs please submit them on the submit sample briefs page. Please remember to change any company names etc as required (so as not to upset anyone) :) .

What do you get for your efforts
To feel good that you have helped a student/newbie designer ;)
…and a link back to your website (from the brief)

    This is a nice idea and most thoughtful. I will see if I have a design brief that I can edit and submit to you as would love to contribute something.

    Just have to say wow, thanks alot for the couple design briefs you have up already. I’m just starting out as far as my portfolio goes and have been racking my brain to come up with adequate mock designs to show that just because I’m new doesn’t mean I’m not a good designer.

    This is a really good idea. I might be able to alter and submit one or two if I find the time later this week.
