    kind of what was said before.
    1) Kickoff with client (CD, PM)
    2) 2nd brief from client (CD, PM)
    3) Creative brief written by PM
    4) Approved by client
    5) Money talks back and forth (usually by PM)
    6) Client signs off on budget
    7) Brain dump from CD to AD
    7a) Any UX, testing, usability studies etc done here
    8) Comps designed by AD /
    8a) Wireframes could also be done by UX department. In this case no comps are done yet by AD
    9) If wireframes were involved, now comps by AD
    10) First round internal review
    11) Edits
    12) Second round internal review
    13) Edits if needed
    14) Review with PM just to bring them up to speed
    15) Client review
    16) Edits if needed
    17) Second round review with client
    18) Client signs off on creative direction
    19) AD designs pages for dev team
    20) Internal review of pages with CD, PM
    21) Edits if needed
    22) If approved send psd files to dev team
    23) First round dev approval. Which is laying our psds over their completed code. When it matches up, complete
    24) Client approval of development
    25) If approved drink
    26) Edits if needed. Smash something
    27) If approved drink

    As I'm writing it there is a shit ton more stuff that is in there. Boards, sketches, proposals from PM to CD to make sure nothing is fubar. For the most part, it's really learn as you go, revise when needed.
    2) Brief from client director (who managed the client's brief and expanded it)

    3) IA layout (kind of hdesign done with grey boxes but trying to choose the right imagery and at least decent headlines)
    4) Client approval of IA
    5) Design of the main pages
    6) Blasphemies, insults and freakout because client choices
    7) Round of amends
    8) Client is satisfied
    9) HTML/CSS production
    10) Whipping the devs to implement the css
    11) Client's happy, but some amends are due
    12) Amends done.
    13) Beer
