01
Begin with the objects and the intended use
List what the organiser is meant to hold and describe how the person would reach for those objects. Record any known dimensions from the actual notebook and pens when using the worksheet for a real project. Leave measurements blank until they are available. In the fictional brief, the notebook is removed frequently while the pens stay nearby. That gives the comparison a shared purpose. Without this starting point, two sketches might be judged mainly on appearance even though they make different assumptions about the objects being stored.
02
Describe each layout using the same questions
For the side-by-side sketch, note where the notebook rests, where the pens sit and which hand movements the drawing assumes. Use those same questions for the behind-the-notebook sketch. Keep dimensions, material and construction details marked as unresolved if the sketches do not specify them. A drawing can suggest that something fits without demonstrating it. The worksheet should make that limitation visible. Giving both alternatives the same fields helps the discussion focus on the arrangement rather than the amount of descriptive attention one sketch happens to receive.
03
Choose the next question rather than declaring a winner
The next question might be whether the notebook can be removed without disturbing the pens in the second layout. Record what kind of simple representation would help examine that question and what information is needed first. If a mock-up is later made, add its actual observations separately from the initial expectation. A preferred sketch can remain provisional while the question is unresolved. The comparison ends with two described alternatives and a concrete next inquiry, leaving later design choices tied to evidence from the work as it develops.
