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

Evaluation of success: Final Product
Self Evaluation
-Reflect on personal performance
-Evaluate personal engagement
Asses what was done and could be done, from a personal point of view, on each stage and the final creation
Bringing your own contribution of juidgement to the cycle
Put product and cycle against the criteria
Improvement suggestions
Upon the completion of testiung use all available supports to understand what went wrong
Suggest improvements based on what was not succesful in the final product
Apply suggestions and improve quality of the creation
Evaluation of impact
Obsaerve how people react upon the use of the products
Consider an appropriate range of test subject based on the mission of the product
Create a series of appropriate tasks that will be used in testing the product
Product testing
Perform tests of the product on a wide range of subjects
Testing succes
Testing improvements
Testing Public Appeal
Testing whether the product is efficient for what it was meant to be
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
Gather evidence from every step and subtopic from the design cycle
Decide whether there is need of modifications or the product is completed
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.
