Creating a good design brief for Year 8 can be tough because of some important things that are often missed:

1. Clear Objectives: If students don’t have clear goals, they might get off track.

   • Solution: Set specific goals to help keep their creativity focused.

2. Target Audience: If students don’t know who they are designing for, their work might not make sense.

   • Solution: Encourage them to learn about their audience, so their designs fit better.

3. Material Constraints: Forgetting about the materials they can use can slow down projects.

   • Solution: Make a list of available materials at the start to connect their ideas with what they have.

4. Timeline: Not having a clear schedule can lead to hurried, messy work.

   • Solution: Create a clear timeline that helps them make steady progress.

By tackling these issues from the beginning, students can move through the design process more smoothly. This can lead to better art and design work!
