Time 4 Design
Board Game
Everything else you need to research to help you solve the design problem
TASK 1
Create a visual Brainstorm of factors relating to the unit concept and the design situation
(see link page for further details)
and / or
Conduct an interview or survey to gather initial information from your client/target audience.
Complete the Daily Storyboard to make a note of the objects that you touch everyday. Also note the materials they are made of and how many other people touch them.
An example storyboard can be see HERE
When you have completed the 'storyboard' you will need to prioritise the objects and choose one:
Which objects are a danger to the public? How many people touch the object? What material is it made from? Are any solutions for these objects unfeasible- eliminate them (e.g. designing a solution for a gym dumbbell might not be safe).Based on your results, decide which object to design a solution for.
Explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem. Making detailed reference to "who" needs your product. "Where" they will be using it, and "why" they need it. (see link page for further details)
TASK 3
Develop a Research plan (click here for Boardgame), which identifies and prioritises primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem.
Main topics you need to research:
3D Printing
Software
Slicing
Existing 3D libraries
Materials & Tools
Support when printing
Filament usage/time needed to print (solid/hollow)
Batch printing
Finishing
PANDEMIC PRODUCTS
TASK 4
Conduct your research using your research plan as a guide, and put in the appendix.
This will include the Tinkercad tutorials:
Have a class link?
Go to your class (details can be found on Classroom)
Once completed, follow the Armie TinkerCad tutorial HERE
TASK 5
Next, analyse a range of existing products. (see link page for further details)
One existing product you can analyse is the 'Armie'. Make a copy and complete the attached file HERE
TASK 6
Develop a detailed Design Brief, conclude all the key points you have found from doing your research. (see link page for further details)
Add your research as an appendix.
TASK 7
List your sources (see link page for further details)
Write a complete bibliography and refer to appendices in MLA format
