The Design Cycle

Evaluating

Design testing methods

Within a modified testing method it will be easier to test and edit your design model.

Evaluate the success of the solution

By evaluating the Solution you could finally decide if you are going to improve your design by a certain way. Otherwise you could not tell the beneficial and uselass parts of your design.

Explain how the solution could be improved

By explain how your solution could be improved, it helps you to understand the improvement you could make and you might get some suggestions.

Explain the impact of the solution

There are always impacts for a single design, ethical, environmental, cultural... Evaluate the impacts and weaken the beneficial impacts helps with further design.

Inquiring and Analysing

Develop a Design Brief

Design Brief is usually an important document, just like journal or development diary. It will show you what you have done and what you are currently working on.

Analyse existing products

By Analyzing and Evaluating the Existing Products, we could learn some experience for current design and avoid same mistake; and study good thing in existing design and use them.

Identify and prioritize the research

Also by Indemnifying and Prioritizing the research, we could know what element is more important in our design.

Explain and justify the need

We are unsure what we should do or design until we clearly knows what we need; By justifying the need we learned what is more important in our design.

Creating the Solution

Justify changes made to the plan

Planning and real situation are often different. By justify the changes you could understand the real situation further.

Follow the plan to make the solution

Within good plans solving real problems becomes easier.

Demonstrate technical Skills

By Demonstrate the design id technically doable, you are able to start the production. If your design seems kind of impossible then it need to be modified.

Construct a logical plan

The same as diagrams, a logical plan not only helps you to plan your design schedule better but also think logically for your design.

Developing Ideas

Develop planning drawings or diagrams

By Planning Drawing or Diagrams you could visually look at your design idea and edit it easier.

Present the Chosen Design

When Presenting Design you are able to communicate and self-check the advantage and disadvantage of you ideas. At least you could find and fix some problems by presentation.

Develop Design Ideas

Usually we need to have multiple Design Ideas and we select the best one; by researching or brainstorming we will have more ideas.

Developing a Design Specification

Design Specification clarify and determine what you are going to design and it will difficult to actually do something with out a Design Specification.
