Time 4 Design
Open and make a copy of the Folder Template.
1. Develop design specifications for your solution, which clearly states the success criteria. Identify and explain the requirements of the solution based on the analysis of the data and identify which are essential and which are desired. Mechanisms, Aesthetics, Typography, Manufacturing requirements, Materials, End-user, Story Concept and Constraints, Health and Safety is key! See template Sample below.
Design Specification Template
Try to begin a specification description with 'The solution must.....' or 'The solution should......'
Each point should be no longer than a short sentence.
You should have somewhere between 10—15 Design Specifications to guarantee the best chance of a successful product
What is a design specification?
A specification is a set of considerations, constraints and requirements for a solution: what the solution must or must not have to be successful. A specification is not a description of the outcome. It should demonstrate that students understand the needs of the problem that they have identified. Every aspect of a specification must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Testable (SMART).
The specification should be directly connected to the design brief. Writing a specification can be a difficult job if the design brief is not well researched and written. If a solution or design fails to meet an aspect of the specification, it can be considered that it has not met the criteria for success.
2. Develop a range (4) of feasible storyboard ideas & list various types of mechanisms for the Pop-Up Book, using either paper or digital as appropriate medium(s) and detailed annotation, which can be correctly interpreted by others. Each idea will have 6-10 of storyboard pages including a front cover. You need the story outline, drawings/images characters, background, pop-up ideas for each page etc. (See below for some sample design pages of varying quality.)
There is an EXAMPLE OF A STORYBOARD HERE
See attached storyboard template.
3. Evaluate and present the chosen design and pop-up mechanisms and justify fully and critically its selection with detailed reference to the design specification. For secondary testing, ask a lower-elementary teacher, peer or librarian to assess your ideas. Summarize your findings in a written statement.
4. Further develop your final detailed Pop-Up storyboard for all your book pages. These pages function as a typography guide by showing details such as the type of pop-up folds, paper dimensions and design elements, fonts, and colour schemes.
5. Develop your script for your story (or any other text), and design any characters that will appear.
6. Design a final Front Book Cover, and don’t forget the book title, dimensions, and materials. (For example, How will you protect the paper?)
7. Check your Design Specification as you may have opportunities to develop your specification further as you continue through the unit of work. If you need to modify, create a modified copy at the end.
8. Check Rubric before submission
