Before you start to think about Designing, it is beneficial to create an Inspiration Board. This is a collection of images (photos, shapes, forms, buildings, products) that inspire you (look good!).
Handheld device shapes (existing products)
Colour (green/ tones)
Theme (nature/ leaves)
Symmetry
Ergonomics (shape)
Leave shape/ design
Size of the Micro:bit

You should create your own Inspiration Board (images you can look at that will help you to design).
Make sure there is purpose to each image that will help you design! Keep in mind any theme or style that you want to convey.
Your page should include a minimum of 20 images that inspire you to design your own product. Make sure you include a title as well as your images.
