10. Explains and justifies the need for a solution for a client/end user/target market. • Common issues: • Lack of detail on the needs of your client- ie not explained • No identification of your target market • Vague target market – eg ‘people’ • No justification of the need for a solution

11. Creates a detailed research plan which identifies and prioritises the research needed to develop a solution to the problem independently. • Common issues: • Research plan lacked detail • The research was not prioritised

12. Analyses a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem in detail. • Common issues: • No existing products (ie Dreamweaver, web site designs) were looked at • The analysis of existing products lacked detail • The client was not involved in the analysis of the existing web design ideas • The target market was not involved in the analysis of web design ideas

13. Summarizes the analysis of the findings from a broad range of sources related to the development of a possible solution, cited appropriately. • Common issues: • No broad range of sources (web, client, target market) used • No bibliography • Bibliography not MLA format
