Design
Document Skeleton
by William Anderson of Eagle Claw Studios
For a long time now I’ve been
getting lots of emails from readers of GIGnews design
articles asking for advice on how to setup a good design
document, what subject they need to add, and in which
order. In answer to those questions, I am making
available the design document skeleton that I’ve used
for many years in one form or another. You may need to
add some subjects or remove others depending on the type
of concept you are working on.
Here is a graph
of a flowchart showing how to design a document:

The skeleton
version of my design document is available as a
