Level Design Workflow Tutorial-->

Short video featuring level designer Brian Douglass from Quantum of Solace.

Notes from the video:

First stages of level design don't exist on the computer. You do it on paper, you do it in discussion, you get a basic concept to work with.
From your concept you decide how can you make this fun.
Outline it. Draw it. Very basic. Deciding how it will work with the gameplay for your game.
Reference. Pay attention to reference.
Next is laying down basic blocks. Constantly moving things around and redesigning. Keep it simple.
After gameplay is established you start with details. Detailing the buildings, adding props, etc. Making the world come to life.
Concentrate on immersion. Immersing the player and providing experience.
