Design cycle brief.

DESIGN BRIEF

1.       Write down:

·         what you are going to make:

A short stop motion animation that will explain the design cycle to year 8s

·         why you are going to make it:

To explain the design cycle to year 8s

·         for whom you are making it for:

Year 8s                                                                                                           

2. Now combine all of this information into a one paragraph statement. Write your full brief in sentences below:

We are going to explain the design cycle though  a stop motion animation to future and present year 8s.

Example; a clock project.

A good Design Brief might be something like this:

"Teenagers have very busy lives. School, family and social activities mean that being punctual is very important.

I will design and make a wall clock that will be appealing for teenage girls. It will be a modern design and will be suitable for a teenage girl's bedroom. Because the design will appeal to teenage girls, them they will be more likely to look at it, read the time and therefore not be late.

---

A poor example would be something like this:

" I will make a football clock from plastic and print out pictures of players to use as the numbers."

DESIGN SPECIFICATION

The Design Specification is the most crucial element of the Investigate phase of the Design Cycle.

A good Design Specification should include information that you learned about the task/problem from your research.

It is a list of requirements that your design ideas must meet plus a list of constraints that you have. It is the check list that you need to use when you start to make your design ideas.

Write down:
