The presumption is that the proposed design is better in some way, and this point should be made clear. It does not suffice to propose 'just another design.'

A common problem with creative efforts is that they are autistic in their nature, ie., they do not consider a careful analysis of prior art - and thus suffer from 'reinventing the wheel' and do not contribute much of significant towards the greater good.		#'''Overview''' - clear statement of why this design is noteworthy, important, or better than existing designs.
