Design Brief Rubric 
If you could invent something to make your life easier, what would it be? Develop a design proposal for a product that would make your life easier. The design proposal should include sketches of your idea, the essential functions and who your product serves. Once your initial idea has been developed, solicit feedback from your peers to revise and update the final design proposal.
