This document outlines the phases and tasks for an initial project planning process. It identifies 12 main phases: literature research, requirements analysis, market analysis, project specification, storyboards, initial design, production, evaluation, project management, digital layout, printing and final assembly. Each phase is then further defined with specific tasks and considerations around timelines, resources, contingencies and deliverables. A calendar is also included that schedules the 12 phases across 6 months from January to June 2011.
