Start here for a connected explanation of the design process, written for upper secondary Design & Technology students.
Read the articles in the order below, or return to a topic when you need it. New articles will be added as they are published.
Understanding design
- Designing with Purpose: Needs, Users and Meaningful Change
- Good Design: Usefulness, Appropriateness and Appearance
- The Design Process: Needs Analysis, Idea Conceptualisation, Development and Prototyping
The areas this series will cover
Needs Analysis: understanding users, activities and contexts; investigating opportunities; forming a justified brief and specifications.
Idea Conceptualisation: exploring possibilities and selecting a promising concept.
Development: resolving how the design works, looks, fits and can be made.
Prototyping and evaluation: making, testing and drawing conclusions from evidence.
Research, sketching, modelling and evaluation support the whole process. The articles explain how these activities help you make design decisions.
