Q: My idea is both a product and a service, so it’s covered by both design strategy 1 and 2. Which brief should I look at?

A: We designed the briefs and the briefing generator to be broad enough for any kind of designer to tackle them. But we also recognise that there’s a lot of overlap between both topics and strategies. Try out the briefing generator with both strategies and see which brief speaks to you more. Go with that one, but it doesn’t matter if your final idea covers more than one brief. You’ll also be able to indicate multiple topics and strategies in the project submission form.
