Textbook - Stage 6 Second Edition
Successful designers are innovative and creative in their approach to design. They work systematically and intuitively and often collaboratively.
Strategies such as sketching and brainstorming can be employed to assist in the development of designs. Following this up with modelling is often necessary.
Designers may be inspired by an event, a personal experience, their environment, a need, nature, market forces, an existing product or the urge to create.
Not all designers follow the same process.
Designers learn from an analysis of the work of other designers and from interdisciplinary collaboration.
It is important to demonstrate creativity in the development of the MDP.
Quality of the final product and quality control during production are vital to the success of a design.
