Initial planning documents

Mind mapping 

Mind mapping allows you to take your ideas and organise them into a structured section visual diagram. It allows you to understand many ideas and points easily while also allowing more ideal brainstorming. While they are convenient and allow concise information they can also be time consuming and can have some text limitations, as you need to follow the same template each time which doesn’t offer variety.

Mood boards 

Are fluid and can be done both digitally and not. They also help make collaborations more easier and are time saving. However working with a client means that they might not know what to do and choose the wrong things or sometimes that might not know what at inspiration board even is.

Blue-sky thinking 

Blue sky thinking allows people in groups to think of lots brainstorming between people. With this you can forward any answer meaning it is quick and can save a lot of time because it allows everyone to use their knowledge. Bad however because you could miss some details as it is that quick.

Swot analysis

Good because its easy to understand and there's also detail as it gives different sections so its all covered. Its  a way of organizing potential problem's and any room for new things. Helps you create condintionting plans. But you need to write down all of the ideas which can take a while meaning it can be waste of time.
