This Design Directive was some rules that I tried to adhere to during the last project of my degree.
I had them in a notebook which allowed me to add to them over a period of time. I was taking work placements at that time and learning new things about the way design works in the real world.
After a while it struck me that rather then keep leafing through my notebook it would make more sense to print it and stick it up on the wall as a reminder to do the right thing (or at least something).
I plan on updating them when I reach the next stage of my life and career then collate and look back on them to see which things have changed and/or stayed the same.
