IGCSE Product Design
Coursework Guide
- Detailed Development
What is it?
By this stage you should understand the full shape of your product, what materials you will use and how it will be constructed. Now you need to consider the finer details such as logos, surface decorations, edges, feet, buttons electronics, etc...
Consider your project 90% designed, this is very important to get the finishing touches - Without the apple logo, the I-Phone wont look as good.
Tips?
- Don't just slap vinyl on your project, you could make masks,
etchings - think differently.
- Think where you position these, you don't need yo cover the
whole project, just a bit looks better.
- Don't make them too big, subtle/small is better.
