Eva's response reminded me of something small I wanted to mention. "People with
purely art or engineering backgrounds usually do not design commercially
successful consumer products." is quite a grandiose statement and in this case
I really would like some imperical data to back it up because I challenge the
factual basis of the statement, although the word usually is a modifier which
can be interpreted in a number of ways it is still a statement claiming
ownership of a "truth".

Jan,
After reading the list of briefing questions would you say that someone who has training in only art or engineering would be equiped to answer all the questions? You may read my statement as being grandiose but it is based on experience practising product design.
