Pages Needed

Here is a similar process you will need to go through for your portfilio. This is for a torch project that some year 11 students have done. 

Research Page

LO- Research Design ideas

• SC – Report on existing designs

• SC – Interpret own thoughts on research ideas.

Find images of different drink bottles. Ones with filters, metal ones, plastic ones etc. Notate what you like and don't like about them. Why are they your thoughts? 

Ideas

LO- Illustrate Design Ideas

• SC- Show a range of thoughts

• SC- Generate torch drawings

Use geometric shapes to form ideas. You will choose three shapes, overlap them to create a form. Do this to prompt some initial ideas for forms. 

Ideas

LO- Illustrate Design Ideas

• SC- Show a range of thoughts

• SC- Generate torch drawings

Create a page that is very sketchy. Draw heaps of different designs on a page. Use this as a way to get ideas to a page. You do not need to use any of these designs. Add a few notes explaining the idea.

Concepts

LO- Illustrate Design Ideas

• SC- Show a range of thoughts

• SC- Generate torch drawings

Use one page to create a design. Relate this back to your brief which means you need to include a filtration system. Explain your design and record comments about form, function, and comments. Add what you like/don't like and why.

Development

LO – Develop a design

• SC – explore different options of a design

• SC – Refine design ideas

Choose your two favorite designs and then start to develop them. You need to explore the shape, how it stands and how effective the bottle is.

Ergonomics

LO – Illustrate how humans will use your design.

• SC – Show human scale

• SC – Develop design using human interaction.

Ergonomics is how your design works in use. You need to explore how people will use your bottle. How can they hold it? How can they drink from it? Develop the shape to make it fit for purpose. You need to show a hand with the design.

Selected Features

LO – Determine best finishes for design.

• SC – Explore a range of materials

• SC –Show a range of colors.

Now that your design is just about finished, you need to start to design the aesthetics of the bottle. This is exploring the texture, color, and finer details of the design. 

Construction

LO – Generate an appropriate construction type for design

• SC – Demonstrate how design is put together

Explore possible ways how your bottle will be made. Is the lid a screw on one? How is the grip attached? Does your filter attach to the lid or the bottle? Show different options of this

Final Design

LO – Present final outcome

• SC – Create final evaluation

• SC – Show final design 

Showcase your final design. Draw your bottle in 2D, 3D, and show off your awesome design.
