	A Design Brief. Describe who the Client is and what they require you to design. Where will it be located? Describe the users / customers coming to Xanadu - possible ages, genders, socio-economic status etc. Consider how specific Principles of Good Design might relate to this type of design.
	A Design Criteria Table. Use the information below to help you create and fill in your table.
