First things first – what to do at the very beginning of each project in terms of the questions to ask the client and the information you’ll need to get started and to properly set-up the project. This session was held in Toronto on February 7, 2017 and was facilitated by Elspeth Domville. These four sessions are designed for both junior and experienced members and are intended to provide a forum for visual researchers to share questions and experiences to help others and to learn from others.
