Designers begin by identifying a problem that needs solving.

The designer then writes down, how the problem will be solved.

The Problem and Design Brief are sometimes viewed as two different sections of the design process. However, they are very closely related.
 
WHAT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM ?
 
 
The problem is a paragraph or more in length.

It describes the problem you are aiming to solve.

Do not say how you intend to solve the problem, only what the problem is.
