The Design Cycle

So here's what I should be following :-)
-here goes...

1. Write down your chosen design and write an initial brief.
2. Write down the attributes.
3. Fill out a Gantt chart to show how you plan to design and make your technological outcome.
4. Research existing products and analyse them showing what is good and bad about them.
5. Produce conceptual ideas for your project.
6. Produce some technological models (drawings, card models, 3D Models, Models of parts of your design) to show what your project will look and how it will work.
7. Write an updated brief with attributes and specifications based on your work so far.
8. Evaluate your models and write down how what you make changes your final design and outcome.
9. Make your technological model.
10. Evaluate and review your final outcome including feedback from your stakeholders saying how you would do things differently next time.

Only completed number one, and still haven't decided what to make...

Success Criteria

1) What did I do?

Today I spent two periods creating my blog! :D
It's finally up and running and I am currently uploading posts about my project and all I have learnt prior to now during Design Teach classes. I am familiarizing myself with how to use the blogging system as I have never done this before.

2) What did I learn? 

I have learnt how to effectively set-up and use a blog of my own. I have also learnt how to navigate around my blog, format backgrounds, upload photos and enter posts, etc. 

3) What is my evidence?

16/3/2012- Thursday 16th March, 2012.


Success Criteria

1) What did I do?

Finalized and glued in my version of the 'design cycle'. Evaluated the time it would take to complete each stage.

2) What did I learn? 

I have limited time to complete each step. I plan on leaving out the practical side of my project- this means I can create something completely eccentric-eg; A new Chapel Hall. By doing this I have more time to complete my planning.

3) What is my evidence?

See my book- worksheets glued in, placed in folder and notes written down. Have glued and published my design cycle.
