Activity 1(Wk4) - DESIGN

Design
-Generate A RANGE of feasible designs that meet the design specification (developed at investigate stage)
- EVALUATE EACH design against the design specification (developed at investigate stage).
-Select ONE design, justifying your choice and EVALUATE this in detail (FULLY AND CRITICALLY) against the design specification (developed at investigate stage).

Assess your work -PERSONALLY
Request Your Work to be assessed by a COLLEAGUE
Submit the work to your Course Tutor

Use the following Template
Criterion B: design
Maximum 6
Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

Repsond to two postings

Activity 1 (Wk3) Criterion A -INVESTIGATE-PRINT MEDIA

a) Explain the problem
b) Discuss its relevance
c) Design brief: show how you intend to solve the problem you have presented. This will guide you investigation as you work to develop a more detailed design specification
d) Critically investigate the problem
a. Through appropriate (2) internet sources/(2)books/(2) newspapers or magazines
b. Through discussion with consumers
c. Through your personal experience
e) Evaluate the information you have critically collected and investigated. Make sure you cite (in text) the sources and also provide a detailed reference list (APA).
f) Design specification: make detailed description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions with which a design must comply. This is a precise and accurate list of facts such as conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the designer and for the user. All appropriate solutions will need to comply with the design specification
g) Describe detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate your product against a design specification

Assessment
Criterion A: investigate
Maximum 6
Investigation is an essential stage in the design cycle. Students are expected to identify the problem, develop a design brief and formulate a design specification. Students are expected to acknowledge the sources of information and document these appropriately.
