Proposed Brief Structure

Using Lauren's underlying grid, using Garrett's format for personas, we're creating three page spreads, one of personas, one of intro to section page spread, one of continuation of content page spread.

Each designer is using different fonts, and can implement the grid and rules however. We're bringing these in on 30 Oct.

Be sure to include folios, running headers and/or footers, and other elements that would appear on all pages.
