4NT (2011) - Research and Exploration SOS Starter


'Design and make an artefact to reduce waste' is an interesting design brief that has lots of potential to design innovative products that can be used to help reduce waste.

For more examples of areas of research for a start, refer to your examination instructions for a list of suggestions.

Read my other posts on research and exploration for more information on how you can create an effective and meaningful mind-map.

Alternatively you may wish to propose your own design brief of your interest.

Either way, you are required (and encouraged) to do a comprehensive research on the topic of your choice to better understand relevant and related products already in use. After which you will seek to improve and innovate from existing products. If you do find an area of need that does not have an existing solution then you proceed to solve the problem identified.
