Design Cycle

Design

• Second step of the Design Cycle

• Sketch one or two samples for each aspect of how the product should look in the end, applying the design specifications, in order to satisfy the choices of the client.

• The designs will include measurements, the product’s features and layout.

• The purpose of the design is to solve the problem, having a visual primary representation of the product.

• Folowing the design specifications, you analyze the design you create in this process

• You will use the design in order to create your product, having an example of how it should look like

Reffer back to evaluation of impact

See how successful the product is

- Comparison against design specification

-Gather results from previous steps
-Produce conclusion based on supported evidence

Investigation

Design Brief

- A summary of the project and a justification.

Design Specifications

- A list of what the product is going to be like in exact detail and equipment you need to achieve.
- Technical requirements of the product are included.

Research

- Collect information on your topic and explain why and how you can use it. Mention the source.
- Research the technical part as well (tutorials, for example).
- Research about testing the final product. (Test Proposal)

Test Proposal

- Create a detailed test that will evaluate your product against the design specification list.
