The design Process Flashcards
The Design Process
it consists of stages that produces a solution to a problem.
THE STAGES OF THE IB DESIGN CYCLE MODEL
identify
researching requirements
generating ideas and solutions
developing the solution
realising the solution
testing and evaluating the solution
Concept Modelling
It contains the information required for a design solution that simulates the physicality of the design, functions, aesthetics
Annotations
They explain the thinking behind the visual image represented by the drawing. They allow the designer to consider the implications of the ideas for further development.
2D and 3D graphic modelling
This is an example of 2D modeling. The designer has created these renderings to show his design ideas. Note the use of colour, texture and form.
Orthographic Drawings
A series of flat views of an object showing it exactly as it is in shape and size.
(dimensions and used as a production drawing)
Perspective Drawing
A 3D drawing that realistically represents an object by foreshortening and vanishing points.
Scale Models
a representation of an object that is smaller or larger than the actual size of the object.
Advantages:
Relatively quick to make
Inexpensive
Client can see the building/object and visualize how the full size building/object
will look/work
Problems can be worked out at this early stage
Photos can be taken of model that can represent full size
Aesthetic Model
Aesthetic models are not necessarily real. They can be either 2 or 3D that are created to assess the ‘look’ of a design idea. The purpose is to get a reaction from the client. They do not have to work.
Prototypes
models that also include functionality. they look and feel real, but made from different materials then the final product would be made from.
Instrumented Models
These are models that are designed to extract performance data across a range of criteria for the purpose of verification and validation.
DESCRIBE A PROBLEM/SITUATION THAT LEADS TO A DESIGN OPPORTUNITY
the current situation,
the current problem,
a summary of research that informs the appropriateness of the problem supporting images demonstrating the nature of the problem and where it occurs.
In this section you outline the problem that you are planning on tackling.
THE DESIGN BRIEF
The design brief is the formal starting point for a new design. Occurs when the designer presents the design to the client. It is a statement of the expectations of the design. The brief does not provide the design solution, but is a statement that sets out:
EVELOPS A DETAILED DESIGN BRIEF THAT IDENTIFIES THE RELEVANT PARAMETERS OF THE PROBLEM.
the expected outcome
broad requirements determined from initial research into the problem.
The only required evidence for this strand is:
a written design brief.
DEVELOPS A DESIGN SPECIFICATION THAT JUSTIFIES REQUIREMENTS, BASED ON THE OUTCOMES OF THE RESEARCH.
The design specification for the prototype will need to address the following aspects.
Aesthetics
Target audience
Function
Production constraints
Material selection
Size
Quantity
