How Year 9 Students Can Follow a Design Brief

If you're in Year 9 and working on a design project, here are some simple steps to help you stay on track:

1. Understand the Brief:

   • Read the design brief carefully.
   • Make sure you know what is required, who it’s for, and the purpose.
   • For example, if your project is to create an eco-friendly product, figure out what “eco-friendly” means for this project.

2. Come Up with Ideas:

   • Write down all your ideas related to the brief.
   • You can use mind maps or draw sketches to help you picture your concepts.

3. Choose and Improve:

   • Pick the best ideas.
   • For example, you might decide to design a reusable tote bag that is both eco-friendly and stylish.

4. Make and Get Feedback:

   • Create quick versions of your designs and show them to friends or teachers.
   • Ask for their opinions so you can make your design even better.

By following these steps, you can make sure your project meets the goals of the design brief!
