1 Justification

You must justify why your chosen design decisions (e.g., composition, narrative structure, character development, etc.) are the most suitable for the specific purpose and end users.

2 Fitness for Purpose

Provide evidence that your design isn't just "good," but specifically addresses the requirements and specifications identified at the start.

3 Comparison

Often involves explaining why you rejected certain design ideas in favor of others, using "evidence-based" reasoning (e.g., "I chose Composition B over A because user testing showed it more clearly represented the intended theme of the outcome").

4 Addressing Implications

You need to show how you handled "Real World" issues. For Excellence, you don't just list them; you show how they shaped the outcome.
