A possible solution is to develop a multimedia presentation that includes a series of sound and video clips. ( solution )

A photographer ( client ) requires a method of increasing his visibility and consequently his income from the sale of images ( problem ).
A possible solution is to develop a website. ( solution )

A manager of a local sports team ( client ) requires a method of keeping accurate records of players’ details, attendance at training sessions and performance throughout the season ( problem ).

Bad Ideas
Making a new website for a local business (that already has a website)
This problem has been solved already!
A promotional video for a local company
Too hard to do professionally: you will use simple equipment and not complex skills

Bad Ideas
Making a website about my favourite computer games / hobby / TV show
No client: no real problem.
