- Students should be aware of, and able to discuss and implement, the stages of a range of design processes in order to apply personal judgement and relevant criteria in the appraisal of products and systems, including: • those used in the NEA • investigations and analysis • use of inspiration materials, eg mood boards • ideas generation • illustration • development of a design specification • modelling • planning • evaluating and testing. Prototype development.
Design processes
- Students should be aware of, and able to discuss and demonstrate, the development of a prototype from design proposals. This knowledge should influence the development of design ideas for the NEA so that students may make high quality products that meet the needs of identified users. The iterative design process in industrial or commercial contexts.
